Post-study

For a student from Jakarta, Belgium pairs academic prestige with a central location: programmes run in French, Dutch or English, and travel across Europe is easy. KU Leuven and Ghent University give the country real top-tier standing.

Tuition of €900–€9,000 a year is moderate for Western Europe, and Belgium is particularly strong in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and international law.

Document notarisation for a Belgian application from Indonesia

Apply directly to Belgian institutions, then have your ijazah and transcripts notarised through the Ministry of Education and Dikti and, where required, translated into the language of instruction. The Type D student visa is issued by the Belgian Embassy in Jakarta, which manages the consular preparation, biometrics and submission for Indonesian applicants.

Costs, scholarships, visa timeline and working afterwards

Living costs run about €800–€1,200 a month and you must show roughly €650 a month in funds. The Type D visa typically takes 4–8 weeks. Indonesian students can apply for VLIR-UOS or WBI scholarships and Erasmus Mundus, and after graduating you can apply for a 12-month job-search permit to find skilled employment in Belgium.
