Countries around the world are taking action to contain the Coronavirus and end the pandemic. Many have put in place mandatory quarantine measures or have closed their borders. As a result normal border crossing can no longer be guaranteed. Consequently, the risk that Belgian citizens get stuck in a foreign country is becoming a lot higher. We therefore advise against all travel abroad. You are recommended to keep an eye on this website for the latest updates regarding the Coronavirus in Singapore. We invite Belgians residing in Singapore/Brunei who are not registered at the Embassy yet to do so. Questions about the situation in Belgium? Click here.

It was on July 11, 1995 that the town of Srebrenica fell into the hands of Bosnian-Serb forces led by General Ratko Mladic. In the days that followed, in less than a week they abducted and murdered more than 8,000 people, mostly men and teenagers, simply because they were Bosniacs.

The COVID-19 crisis has shaken up all habits and forced everyone to review certain operating modes. This was also the case for the FPS Foreign Affairs, where teleworking was the rule, even though it had to carry out one of its fundamental tasks: assisting Belgians abroad. Not simple when the crisis was worldwide: “It is as if you had 200 earthquakes and many aftershocks at the same time, including in Belgium”, says Minister Goffin.
