Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Luxembourg. Since Luxembourg is in the Schengen zone, the 90-day limit applies across all Schengen countries — not just Luxembourg. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen zone | Immigration officers at Luxembourg airport will ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Airlines also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host ready. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it printed or on your phone avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. There is no fixed amount, but around €50–€100 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Schengen Area Rules
Luxembourg is part of the Schengen Area. Your 90-day visa-free stay applies to the entire Schengen zone (29 countries). Days spent in any Schengen country count toward the 90-day limit.
No Registration Required
For stays under 90 days, you do not need to register with local authorities. Just enter and enjoy your visit.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Luxembourg Airport (LUX)
After landing, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Passport Control'. Non-EU/EEA lines are clearly marked. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will check your passport, ask your purpose and length of stay, then stamp you in. The whole process usually takes 2–5 minutes.
2
Entering by Land from Belgium, France, or Germany
Luxembourg is in the Schengen Area, so there are no border checks when driving or taking a train from neighboring countries. However, you may encounter random police checks. Keep your passport and travel documents accessible.
3
During Your Stay
No registration is required for stays under 90 days. You can move freely within the Schengen Area. Keep your passport and a copy of your return ticket with you at all times.
