Visa to Luxembourg: who needs it and how to get it

Before you plan your trip, make sure you know if you need a Schengen visa for Luxembourg and how to get it.

You do not need a visa to visit Luxembourg if:

1. You are a citizen or a family member of an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen.

2. You are a citizen of a country that has a visa-free regime with the Schengen area.

Citizens of other countries need to obtain a visa to enter Luxembourg.

In order to visit Luxembourg for tourist/business purposes, visit relatives, attend a conference or undergo a medical examination, you should apply for a short-stay visa type C.

The visa allows you to stay in Luxembourg for up to 90 days within a period of 180 days. In addition, you can visit other Schengen countries within the validity period of the visa.

To apply for a visa to Luxembourg, follow these steps:

1. Find the address of the nearest Luxembourg embassy/consulate in your country of residence and make an appointment.

2. Fill out the visa application form (download the visa application form here, fill it out, print it out and sign it).

3. Collect the required package of documents together with the completed visa application form and submit them to the Luxembourg Embassy.

4. Pay the visa fee. This can be done directly at the Luxembourg embassy/consulate when applying. Do not forget to attach the payment receipt to the rest of the documents.

5. After successful submission of documents, expect a response within 14 working days. Please note that the application review process may take longer.

Documents required for a short-stay visa for Luxembourg

• A valid passport

• Two passport size photos

• A completed visa application form

• Travel insurance policy. The insurance must have a minimum coverage of 30,000 euros in case you have health problems during your stay in Luxembourg.

• Receipt of payment of the visa fee

• Cover letter (this is a letter you write to the embassy. The representative office will find out more about you, the purpose of your visit, how long you plan to stay in the country, what places you plan to visit, etc.)

• Proof of residence in Luxembourg (rental agreement, hotel reservation, letter of invitation from a friend or family member)

• Bank statements (for the last 6 months, confirming your financial stability and ability to support yourself financially during your stay in Luxembourg)

If your Luxembourg visa application is rejected, you have several options:

1. Write a letter of appeal to the embassy/consulate that denied your visa. The deadline for submitting an appeal letter is 15 days after receiving the visa refusal decision.

2. Reapplying. You can re-apply for the same visa to Luxembourg.

3. Applying for a Schengen visa in another Schengen country. If you are issued a Schengen visa in another Schengen country, you will be able to visit Luxembourg without an additional visa.

The reasons for visa refusal can be different: false information when filling out the application form, lack of documents, late arrival at the visa appointment, invalid or damaged passport, lack of travel insurance or unconfirmed financial solvency.

Once you have received your visa, it is important to remember that it can be canceled at any time if you do not notify the authorities of any changes to your travel itinerary.
