      Luxembourg Visa Policy

      Luxembourg is an EU country but is also a member of the Schengen zone, which shares the same passport-free policy. This shared policy involving more than two dozen countries allows for the free entry and exit of fellow citizens without a passport. Citizens from member states can visit Luxembourg with their ID cards and stay indefinitely for as long as they wish. They are also free to pursue any interest they may have as long as it is legal.

      This privilege is not extended to non-EU citizens coming from abroad. Under the current Schengen policy, all visitors who are not from EU countries are placed in two groups; the first group is the non-visa-exempt group, and the second is the visa-exempt group.

      Schengen Visa For Non-Visa Exempt Visitors

      If you are not an EU citizen and your country is not on the visa-exempt list, you must apply for a Luxembourgian visa. There are two types of visas: the national visa for long stays and the popular Schengen visa. Citizens of more than 150 countries can apply for this visa, recognized by all Schengen countries in the zone.

      The visa is issued by embassies and consulates abroad and is valid for 180 days from the issue date. The holder can visit Luxembourg and any other country in the zone for up to 90 days. Schengen visa is a multiple entry visa that can be used for business, transit, or tourism. Patients seeking medical attention in Luxembourg may also use it for entry. Applicants must possess passports with a minimum of six months validity and travel with the passport used for the Schengen visa application and the visa issued.

      ETIAS Online Authorization For Visa-Exempt Visitors

      Being a member of the Schengen zone and the European Union, Luxembourg also operates on h same visa waiver policy for selected nationalities. Previously, visitors from eligible countries could visit Luxembourg with just their passports but not anymore. The EU has floated a new entry program for visa-exempt visitors. Under the new arrangement, such visitors must apply for travel authorization online before they are granted access to Luxembourg or any other Schengen country, for that matter.

      The online authorization is called the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS).

      This online system pre-screens applicants before approving their visit to the zone using security databases. 

      This policy will go into force in 2024, and without ETIAS, visitors from visa-exempt countries will not be allowed to visit Luxembourg. The application form has sections for your personal itinerary and passport information. It also has a section for security questions which must be answered accordingly. The application will be processed automatically, and applicants will know their date within minutes.

      The purpose of ETIAS is to increase the security levels of EU countries to prevent dangerous elements from breaching their borders. ETIAS will be valid for three years, and visitors may visit and stay for up to three months within a six months cycle.

      Note: Luxembourg currently has no visa bans on any foreign country.

      Key Information About Luxembourg ETIAS and Travel Tips

      Eligibility: What is most important to note is that ETIAS is not for everyone coming to Europe; it is only for visa-exempt countries. If you currently enjoy visa-free entry into any Schengen country because of your passport, you will be required to get this approval from 2024, but if a Schengen visa is a requirement for entry, you will not be eligible for ETIAS. You must visit the nearest Luxembourg foreign mission to get a Schengen visa.

      Passport: Your ETIAS will be linked to your passport, so endeavor to always travel with it anytime you visit the region; if you visit with a different one, you will not be allowed into Luxembourg. Also, note that the ETIAS approval expires once the passport it is linked to also expires.

      Duration of Stay: The maximum duration you can stay in Luxembourg or any other Schengen country with your ETIAS permit is 90 days, but this is not in isolation. Visa-exempt foreigners can spend up to 90 days in 180 days. The time starts counting from the very next day after they arrive in any Schengen country, so be mindful of this. This rule applies to visitors coming to single or multiple countries.

      Purpose: Remember that you are only allowed to use this online authorization for short-term, not long-term, visits. Persons looking to study, work or engage in any activity extending for more than 90 days should opt for a long-stay visa instead.

      Multinationality: The concept of multi nationality also applies to ETIAS like it does to Schengen visas. Etias permit holders will be allowed to visit as many countries as they wish within the Schengen zone in 90 days. Currently, 27 Schengen countries and close to ten other non-Schengen countries in Europe will accept ETIAS as an entry document. The only caveat is that visitors coming to non-Schengen countries must visit a Schengen country first before making a detour.

      Non Schengen Countries: As far as ETIAS is concerned, some countries accept and do not accept this authorization permit that is not part of the Schengen zone. Once ETIAS becomes active, you can’t visit the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland with Schengen as these countries have distinct visa policies and do not subscribe to the policies of the European Commission. On the other hand, you will be able to visit non-Schengen countries like Bulgaria, Romania, and Cyprus. Macedonia and Albania are some of the other countries on the continent you can visit, but provided you have visited other countries in the Schengen zone first. Consult travel advisory to know more.

      Luxembourg e-Visa Online – Get your Luxembourg e-Visa with VisaHQ

If you are planning a trip to Luxembourg, you will need an entry permit in the form of a visa or an online travel authorization, regardless of which country you come from.

      How To Apply For ETIAS With VisaHQ

      Applicants will be able to apply for ETIAS with VisaHQ once it becomes mandatory in 2024. You can complete the application in a few minutes by following these steps.

      Complete the online application form: The ETIAS online form must be completed. Please answer all the security questions and provide your travel, transit, and passport information as they appear on your travel documents.

      Upload travel documents: The next step is to upload your travel documents in scanned copies. Ensure that they are clear and readable.

      Pay the fee: The application fee must be paid online using a credit or debit card. After making the payment submit the application for processing.

      Get Approved: Unlike visa applications that take a few days, ETIAS will be processed in minutes, so you will know soon after whether you are cleared to travel or not. If you are cleared, the ETIAS system will send you a confirmation email to that effect.
