Are you a Belgian who has recently moved to Portugal and would like to register with the Embassy in Lisbon? Did you lose your passport while you were travelling through Portugal as a tourist? Do you need to request a visa in order to travel to Belgium? Then you’ve come to the right address.

Beware of pick pockets

Lisbon is a safe city, you'll only have to be careful with the pick pockets operating in crowded tourist areas, and especially on the tram routes. But also beware of people selling drugs (some even sell bay leafs instead of hash) in the downtown area.

Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Defense Philippe Goffin and United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium Ronald Gidwitz signed a “preclearance” agreement on Monday that will allow passengers boarding flights from Brussels Airport to the United States to clear U.S. customs and immigration prior to embarkation in Brussels, and to save time upon arrival. This agreement, which has been under discussion for several years, will help further strengthen the already substantial trade and investment between the two countries and promote Brussels Airport as a trans-Atlantic hub.

September 21 marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations. Belgium is a founding member of the UN and the very first President of the General Assembly was Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak. Faced with the challenges of our time, Belgium remains more than ever convinced of the importance of the role of the UN and multilateralism in the search for effective and harmonious solutions fostering peace and sustainable development. This commitment is also demonstrated by its mandate in the Security Council, where Belgium was elected for the 6th time.
