The embassy and its network in Belgium

Mukhled Abdulrahman H. Alotaibi heads the embassy as ambassador; the Belgian list gives 1 August 2024 as the date of the presentation of credentials. Brussels hosts the EU institutions and NATO, so several countries keep separate missions there; this page covers the bilateral embassy to Belgium.

Consular services

The consular section typically handles:

• Saudi passports and emergency travel documents
• Registration of births, marriages and deaths
• Certification and legalisation of documents
• Certificates for pensions abroad
• Visas for travellers who need one for Saudi Arabia

Documents checklist

What Saudi citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official Saudi government information:

Renewing a Saudi passport abroad

• Fill in the electronic “passport issuance” request (MOFA e-services) with your Enjaz reference number, attach a photo and documents, then print and sign the form
• A copy of your existing passport – the original is handed in when you receive the new one
• A letter of introduction according to your situation (employer certificate, cultural mission or university letter, or hospital letter)
• A copy of your residence or study ID and of your national ID
• The mission may ask you (or your guardian) to appear in person or to send documents by post; minors need the guardian’s consent
• If the passport expired more than a year ago, a laissez-passer may be issued instead
