Every foreigner must, before entering the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, hold a valid and recognized travel document.
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.
It must be applied for 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.
