For Belgium, there are two main cases: the short stay, a Schengen visa, and the long stay, a D visa to study, work or join family. From Cameroon, files are lodged at TLScontact, the provider of the Belgian embassy in Yaoundé.
In Douala, we help you choose the right procedure, gather exactly the documents on the official list and prepare the filing. The decision belongs to the Belgian authorities.
Where do I apply for a Belgium visa in Cameroon?
TLScontact has two Belgium centres in Cameroon: Yaoundé and Douala. For a long-stay visa, you first fill in the form on Visa On Web.

Which visa for which plan?
These are the procedures we support for Belgium.
- Short-stay visa: visit, tourism, business, up to 90 days.
- Student visa: after admission and, for a bachelor's, the equivalence application.
- Single permit: your employer applies to the Region, then you apply for the D visa.
- Family reunification: a D visa to join a relative, under the 2025 law's rules.
- Professional card: to work self-employed, applied for at the embassy and decided by the Region.
What ALORIA does, and what it does not do
The Belgian embassy advises against paying a third party to file for you, and TLScontact bars intermediaries. That is normal: you lodge your own file.
Our work happens before and after: guidance, building and checking the file with you, questionnaire and interview preparation, follow-up. No agency gets special treatment, and we promise no visa.
