Rules in force · 11Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Metro, tram and bus tickets must be validated on every ride
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Benelux ↗Dutch and Belgian police can ask anyone to show identification (in the Netherlands from age 14): carry the original passport or EU ID card — a photocopy is not accepted.
- Benelux ↗Tap-in fares, Dutch and Belgian domestic tickets and Luxembourg's free transport all stop at the border: buy an international ticket for cross-border legs, or you will be fined on board.
- Belgium ↗Belgium is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Belgian sources for your passport.
- Belgium ↗Cities have different names in Dutch and French (Antwerpen/Anvers, Gent/Gand, Brugge/Bruges, Luik/Liège); check both on tickets and signs.
- Belgium ↗Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent have low-emission zones; if you drive, check that the car is registered or allowed before entering.
- Belgium ↗Belgian unions call national action days that stop trains, trams and flights; check SNCB and your airline two days before any travel day.
- Brussels area ↗For day trips, buy a return or a Flanders day ticket; the Brussels city ticket does not cover trains to other cities.
- Brussels ↗Most large museums in Brussels are closed on Mondays; plan the fine arts and the Cinquantenaire for other days.
- Brussels ↗Metro, tram and bus tickets must be validated on every ride; inspectors fine on the spot.

Questions and answers
Do I need to book ahead?
Yes — timed slots are standard because the house is small, and they fill in spring and summer; book online a few days ahead.
