Conditions Imposed On Travellers To Belgium

Belgium has reopened its internal borders but countries within the EU, the Schengen states and the UK are divided into three colour zones (red, orange and green zones [see here] and the Foreign Affairs website to determine if sanitary measures must be taken when arriving in Belgium. 

Quarantine and a Covid-19 test are in principle:

• mandatory for travellers to Belgium from a red zone in the EU, the Schengen states or the UK;
• strongly recommended for travellers to Belgium from an orange zone;
• mandatory for travellers to Belgium from outside the EU, the Schengen states and the UK.

Quarantine is also the rule for essential travel (such as professional travel) from red zones. It is only possible to deviate from this if this quarantine would prevent the 'essential aspect' of the travel from continuing. Quarantine may only be lifted to fulfil the essential travel purpose (e.g. a meeting) and only to the extent that this activity cannot be postponed.
