Every foreigner must hold a valid and recognized travel document before entering the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Nationals of certain countries must also have a visa, commonly known as the ‘Schengen visa’.

The Schengen visa is a short-stay visa (maximum of 3 months during a period of 6 months) for business, tourism, family visits, etc.

Visa application must be made from Luxembourg consular services before departure.

The obligation to hold a visa depends on:

• the nationality of the traveller;
• the length of his/her stay;
• and in certain cases, the reason for his/her visit to Luxembourg.

Where can you find information?

• The website of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs informs you whether or not you need a Schengen visa and gives details of the procedures to be followed to apply for one.
• Procedures: guichet.lu, the administrative guide to Luxembourg explains the procedures to be followed when applying for a Schengen visa.
