To apply for a Belgium visa from the UAE as a resident, follow these steps:

1. Determine the Type of Visa You Need
Short-Stay Schengen Visa (Type C): For stays up to 90 days, for tourism, business, family visits, etc.
Long-Stay Visa (Type D): For stays exceeding 90 days, such as for work, study, or family reunification.
2. Check if You Need a Visa
As a UAE resident, you may need a visa for Belgium, depending on your nationality. Citizens of certain countries (like GCC nationals) may not need a visa for short stays but must verify this based on their nationality.
