Impact cancellations due to Coronavirus on already obtained visa

The Coronavirus leads to many cancellations of scientific manifestations, in Belgium and abroad. If you have already obtained a visa for a scientific event that is postponed due to the Corona virus, you can keep this visa on condition that only the date changes and there is no impact on the offered hospitality. However, if there is an impact on the hospitality (e.g. different flight class, price of the flight increases by more than 50%, extra meal, extra or more expensive overnight stay, additional taxi ride, etc.), then there is a substantial modification, in which case a new visa application must be submitted.
