Luxembourg Visa

Luxembourg's Visa Types

Luxembourg, a key part of the Schengen Area, issues the Schengen Visa (Type C) for short visits. This visa permits stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period across Luxembourg and the broader Schengen Zone. The Luxembourg travel visa category you’ll need depends on your reason for travel:

• Tourist Visa: This is the most common Luxembourg visa type, suitable for leisure travel, sightseeing, exploring historical sites, or visiting friends and family.
• Business Visa: For professionals attending conferences, business meetings, signing contracts, or exploring commercial opportunities in Luxembourg. An official invitation letter from a Luxembourgish company is typically a main requirement for a Luxembourg business visa.

Key Documents for Luxembourg Visa Applications

Traveriya will provide a precise, personalized checklist. Generally, you’ll need:

• An original passport: Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area, issued within the last 10 years, and have at least two blank pages. Copies of the main passport pages and any previous Schengen visas are often needed.
• Your residence visa copy and national ID card: Valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure from the Schengen Area.
• Two recent biometric photographs (3.5cm x 4.5cm or 35x45mm), color on white background, taken within the last 6 months, meeting strict Schengen specifications.
• The completed and signed Schengen Visa Application Form.
• A personal cover letter: Stating your visit’s purpose, itinerary, and confirming your intention to return to your current country of residence.
• A confirmed round-trip flight booking: Showing your entry to and exit from the Schengen Area.
• Proof of accommodation: Confirmed hotel bookings for your entire stay in Luxembourg/Schengen, or an official invitation letter (e.g., “attestation d’accueil” or “formal obligation” certified by a public notary in Luxembourg) from your host, including their accommodation details and a copy of their passport/residence permit.
• Comprehensive Travel Health Insurance: Valid across all Schengen countries, with minimum coverage of €30,000 for medical emergencies, hospitalization, and repatriation.
• Proof of financial ability: Original stamped personal bank statements for the last three to six months, demonstrating sufficient funds to cover your stay and return. Salary slips and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer/sponsor are also vital. For self-employed individuals, a valid trade license copy.
• Documentation related to your purpose of travel: A detailed itinerary for tourists, or an official invitation letter for business or family visits.
• Proof of social or economic ties to your current country of residence: Documents like property ownership, family ties (marriage/birth certificates), or school enrollment for dependents, demonstrating your intention to return.
• For minors: A birth certificate, a consent letter from both non-traveling parents (or legal guardian) if applicable (signed in front of a visa officer or duly legalized), and copies of parents’ passports and residence visas.

How Traveriya Supports Your Luxembourg Visa Application

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Start your Luxembourg visa journey effortlessly. Connect with Traveriya’s expert consultants, who will review your travel purpose, nationality, and current residency. They will immediately inform you of the necessary visa type (e.g., Tourist Schengen Visa) and provide a personalized document checklist, ensuring a clear path forward and providing comprehensive information regarding the entire Luxembourg visa process.

Step 2: Provide Your Documents

We’ll provide you with a precise, personalized checklist of all required Luxembourg visa documents, specific to your nationality, residency, and visa type. Traveriya expertly manages your paperwork, ensuring all forms are accurately completed and supporting documents are perfectly in order. Our team meticulously checks all your application documents for completeness and accuracy, following the latest guidelines from the Embassy of Luxembourg (represented by the Embassy of Belgium in the UAE for Schengen visa applications) and VFS Global. We also advise on necessary translations (for documents not in French, German, or English), provide advice on how to present your financial proofs (like bank statements for the last three to six months, showing sufficient funds of approximately €70 per day of stay, subject to change), and help you plan a clear travel itinerary, which helps significantly reduce the chance of errors that could lead to application delays.

Step 3: Book We Manage Everything Else

Once your documents are ready, our team takes over the heavy lifting. Traveriya assists with accurately filling out the Schengen application form and handles the related fee processing. We meticulously manage the scheduling of your mandatory biometric appointment at the designated VFS Global application center (acting on behalf of the Belgian Embassy, which represents Luxembourg). Guidance is provided to prepare you thoroughly for this crucial step. After submission, our system provides real-time information on your application’s status from submission to decision. The Luxembourg visa processing time typically takes 15 calendar days, but can extend to 30-45 calendar days, so applying at least 4 weeks, and up to 6 months, in advance, is recommended. Our experts can also handle difficult situations, leveraging their understanding of Schengen and Luxembourg immigration laws. Should a Luxembourg visa be refused, we analyze the reasons and advise on the reapplication strategy, as there is generally no formal appeal process for a Luxembourg Schengen visa; instead, a new application addressing the refusal reasons is typically required. A detailed breakdown of all applicable Luxembourg visa fees, including the Schengen visa fee, VFS Global service charges, and Traveriya’s professional fees, is provided upfront, ensuring full transparency.
