Hello everyone.
I recently got accepted into the University of Antwerp and I must say that I have gained valuable info on this thread while I have been processing my documents these past weeks.
Thank you all.

Please I need a little clarity on sponsorship. I want to use my brother in the US as my sponsor. He has been able to gather all required documents for the legalisation of Annex 32 (proof of financial support)...with the exception of proof of family tie.

Here's an excerpt from the website of the Belgian Embassy in the US...

- proof of family ties between the student and the sponsor: original birth certificates with an apostille for American documents or (if needed) legalization from both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country of birth as well as a legalization from the Belgian representation in your country of birth.
Please contact the Belgian representation in your country of birth to inquire about the legalization procedure.

This would mean my brother would have to send his birth certificate to Nigeria, and have it authenticated and legalised (alongside mine), and then have them sent back to him. That would take a considerable amount of time which I am worried that I don't have.
Is there maybe another way to go about proving family ties?

Did anyone here who had a sponsor in the US go through this?

And lastly, does a sponsor have to be a close relative? Can a family friend sponsor someone? I have a family friend in Belgium and I read somewhere that sponsors in Belgium don't have to prove family ties.

Please I would love to get some info about this. The ones I've been gathering online have been somewhat contradictory. The Embassies are not helping as well, as they have not been responding to my mails.

Thank you very much.

Please can I pay a tuition of 20k euros yearly? I just got admitted into a school in Belgium and that's their tuition. Can I work there and meet up?

Rusa:


Family friends in Belgium or EU do not need to prove family ties.

munachieze:


Thank you so much for your response. I eventually figured that out.

I know they generally advise to begin processing your visa 2 to 3 months before you have to in Belgium. Is this always the case?
My school's resumption date is September 17th, and chances are I won't be able to apply for a visa until late July at the very least.
It has me worried a bit.
Would that be considered as too late?

Rusa:


Belgium visa processing is very unpredictable. That’s why it is best to start on time. Some applications get response in less than a month, some can stay up to 3 months. So if you have the option of submitting earlier, just do.
No one can 💯 predict Belgium. We all know its better to apply early

Good everyone is true that Belgium embassy take long time to give decision if someone is applying for short stay visa. I read some tread that it takes more than 2months to give decision.
