Cowboy296 Posted June 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Does anyone know whether a US citizen needs an Air Transit Visa to change planes in Brussels, Belgium? Going on NCL Greek Island cruise Jun 19. We change planes in Brussels to continue to Venice, Italy. I did search online but did not find a clear answer. I called Brussels Airlines and the agent said that she thinks I do but to check with Belgium consulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2inTul Posted June 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) No visa is required for entry or transit through Belgium to any other Schengen Area country from the U.S. (With a U.S. Passport) Info directly from the U.S. State Department: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Belgium.html Edited June 3, 2022 by 2inTul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milolii Posted June 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Europe does plan to launch a visa program in 2023, staring in May. Although Europe is adamant its’s not a visa. Perhaps that information is causing some confusion. https://www.godsavethepoints.com/europe-etias-visitor-fee-for-2023/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted June 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Brussels is you entry into the Schengen area - as a US citizen you only need your passport - passport control will be in Brussels - no further passport control for Venice.. Make sure your luggage is checked through to the final destination. As milolii is saying, there will be a ETIAS visa program introduced for entry into Schengen Area - but not for this year. Enjoy your cruise - hope you’ll also have time to explorer Venice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
