Welcome
As the Honorary Consulate of Belgium in Ohio, we are here to support and assist you, whatever your needs may be: questions about a work permit or residency permit to work or stay in Belgium, a travel visa to travel to Belgium, trade and investment questions about doing business in Belgium and its regions, etc.
There is a surprisingly strong and active bond between Belgium and the State of Ohio. Not only are many Ohio companies doing business with Belgium, a number of them also have established operations in Belgium itself, not the least of which the State of Ohio itself, which established its European trade and investment in Brussels, Belgium many years ago. Likewise, many Belgian companies are doing business with Ohio, and a number of them have established operations in Ohio.
A special welcome as well to all of the Belgian citizens living and residing in Ohio. We are here to help you as best as we can. If nothing else, we will steer you in the right direction if this office cannot give you a definitive answer to your questions.
Best regards,
Paul Allaer
Honorary Consul of Belgium for Ohio
Cincinnati, Ohio
