I got my O-A visa yesterday 23 november and went online to submit COE request showing Covid insurance.

I would like to leave Belgium 10 december, is that doable or should I plan one week later.

I know I need to wait for pre-approval, book and pay ASQ hotel and buy flight ticket before I can get the COE.

I am fairly stressed to be with partner and her daugther, so are they.

Thanks for advice.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user received their O-A visa on November 23 and is seeking advice on whether they can leave Belgium by December 10 after submitting their Certificate of Entry (COE) request. They highlight the requirement for pre-approval, ASQ hotel booking, and flight purchase as prerequisites for the COE. One comment indicates that the Belgian embassy advised a processing time of 15 working days for the COE, while another commenter shares that the COE took only 2 days to obtain in Hong Kong.

I had an appointment 17 November and picked op passport yesterday 23rd. You must scan your visa to apply for the COE together with the Covid insurance certificate, then wait for pre-approval, then book and pay ASQ hotel + airline ticket.
