How to get Belgium tourist visa (family visit visa) with maximum validity?

Upvote:1

When your mother applies for her tourist visa, she has to explain the premise of her trip. If she can explain how staying for 90 days is genuine tourism and that she will definitively leave with no fuss after 90 days, then those 90 days should be granted.

Unfortunately your plans don't sound like typical tourism. Belgium has some nice places, but 80 days isn't the normal tourist trip. Clearly she wants to visit you, and the assumption will be that you want to care for her or she wants to case for your family. It will sound worse if you have children.

So the way to go is this:

  • Ask for 80 or even 90 days.
  • Provide solid evidence of her continuing ties to her home country, and of her intention to leave.

An alternative might be to look at a family reunion visa. For that, ask on Expatriates SE.
