Belgian entry rules |
|
|
 |
Entry into a foreign country can be challenging during the COVID pandemic. Belgium uses a color-coding system to code other countries. Based on this system, entry rules are determined. Currently Canada is listed as an ‘orange’ country. Canadian entering Belgium from Canada must complete a passenger locator form (PLF) but can enter the country without a test or quarantine. Please note the Canadian government requirements for air travel from/to Canada.
More information about the COVID measures in Belgium can be found on the dedicated COVID website of the Belgian government. The Belgian embassy website also lists details of the entry requirements for Canadians.
