Visa refusal, incomplete applications, long procedures: in 2025, students in Belgium let go of the guarantor. The Studely blocked account is the simple, fast and recognized solution.

Why are guarantor files often refused?


Using a guarantor means asking a person (family, friend) to commit to covering your living expenses in Belgium. But the Belgian authorities have strengthened the conditions for this care:
Very high minimum monthly income (€3000 net per month)
Stable earnings for over 12 months
Files checked in detail by embassies
Result: even with a motivated guarantor, the risk of refusal remains very high. You're wasting time, you're paying fees, and you're in danger of missing out on the first day of school.

    Because they want to:

    Thousands of students choose to switch to a locked account rather than relying on a guarantor because the guarantor is not always reliable. In addition, each year, the Immigration Office indexes and increases the required net income, creating uncertainty about renewing or obtaining a student visa. In addition, the Immigration Office is becoming more and more strict when it comes to false documentation and pay slips. Faced with these risks, students prefer to opt for peace of mind with Studely.
