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.
