Which visa category do we have to apply to go to Belgium for religious purposes? - Colorful Stained Glass

We will go to Belgium for religious purposes, and need a visa. Which visa category should we apply for? Is there a specific visa class for it and what is the required document checklist? We have already visited multiple times the UK to conduct religious conferences. Can we apply for a multiple-entry Schengen visa?



Best Answer

A multiple entry visa will usually be granted after a number of successful visits on single-entry visa (no overstays or similar incidents). This happens automatically when they consider your application. While it is possible to request a multiple-entry visa in the form, this would be unusual to be granted for a first-time visitor.

I'm not aware of special rules for clergy. The visa form has both a "cultural" and "other" check box, one of those would seem to fit.
