Foreign Affairs calls on travelers to get enough information before their departure.

EDue to the increasing number of travel restrictions targeting Belgium following the covid-19 epidemic, returns to the Mainland can be difficult. The FPS Foreign Affairs calls on Thursday for travelers to get enough information before leaving for other countries.
More and more countries are imposing restrictions on people traveling from Belgium and, more generally, from Europe. This leads to entry bans, as in the United States, and the quarantine of travelers upon arrival. In addition, airlines are drastically reducing the number of their flights.
The FPS Foreign Affairs underlines that a rapid return to Belgium is not always guaranteed. Travelers may have to stay longer than expected on site. Foreign Affairs therefore asks people who plan to leave soon to other skies to inform themselves as to the accessibility of their destination and especially on the possibility of entering the floor of white-blues-Belgians.

In addition, Foreign Affairs stresses that an extended forced stay can have financial and medical consequences. It is recommended to check whether the insurance offers sufficient guarantees for hospitalization abroad.
Finally, they ask the Belgians to strictly follow the instructions of the local authorities and to consult travel advice from Foreign Affairs. The crisis center as well as embassies and consulates provide consular assistance to Belgians abroad who encounter problems.
