Dear compatriots, dear Portuguese friends,

Welcome to the website of the Embassy of Belgium in Lisbon.

I arrived here, together with my wife and daughter, at the beginning of August 2024 as the newly appointed Belgian Ambassador.

I am honored to serve my country and my compatriots for the next 4 years.

The relations between Portugal and Belgium are excellent, both bilaterally and within the European Union. I look forward to further developing and strengthening these ties, relying on the broad network of this Embassy.

I am also aware of the great responsibility and importance of continuing to provide solid and efficient administrative support to compatriots who are permanently or only temporarily in Portugal. In this, I can rely on a dedicated and experienced team that guarantees a professional handling of this important task of the Embassy.

With the support of the entire Embassy team, I will carry out my mission with dedication and enthusiasm. In the meantime, the Embassy is at your disposal,

Kind regards,

Bart Lammens
