Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay in Schengen area | Your passport needs to be valid for your entire stay in Luxembourg and the Schengen area. Airlines at check-in may ask for 6 months validity beyond your departure date — if your passport expires sooner, carry proof of your return flight. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration at Luxembourg airport and other Schengen entry points routinely ask for a return or onward ticket within your 90-day visa-free period. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation, Airbnb receipt, or a letter from your host with their address and contact details. Border officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a recent bank statement, credit card, or cash showing you can support yourself — roughly €65 per day of stay. Officers almost never check this for Brazilian passport holders, but it's your safety net. | Recommended |
90-day limit applies to entire Schengen area
Your 90 visa-free days are for all 27 Schengen countries combined, not just Luxembourg. If you spend 30 days in France and 60 in Germany, that's 90 days used up. Keep track of your days carefully.
No arrival declaration needed
Unlike some Schengen countries, Luxembourg does not require you to fill out an arrival declaration or register online before travel. Just show up with your valid passport and supporting documents.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Luxembourg Airport (LUX)
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control' for non-EU citizens. The queue is usually short. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your passport
Hand over your passport to the border officer. They will check your photo, validity, and may ask a few questions (purpose of visit, where you're staying, how long). Answer calmly and briefly.
3
Show supporting documents if asked
If the officer requests, show your return ticket, accommodation booking, or proof of funds. Keep them easily accessible in your carry-on.
4
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry. This stamp marks the start of your 90-day visa-free period. Check the stamp before walking away.
5
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Unless you have something to declare, walk through the green 'nothing to declare' channel.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is for tourism, business meetings, or family visits only. You cannot work for a Luxembourg employer or freelance for local clients. Remote work for a non-Luxembourg employer is a gray area — technically not allowed, but rarely enforced for short stays. If you plan to work remotely, keep it low-key and don't mention it at the border.
No. The visa-free period cannot be extended. You must leave the Schengen area after 90 days. Overstaying can result in fines, a ban, or difficulty entering the Schengen zone in the future.
You need to apply for a long-stay visa (type D) at the Luxembourg embassy in Brazil before traveling. This is for work, study, or family reunification. The process takes several weeks, so plan ahead.
If you stay longer than 90 days, yes — you must register with the commune (town hall) where you're staying. For short visa-free stays, no registration is needed.
No. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it expires sooner, you'll be denied entry. Renew your passport before traveling.
Not strictly required at the border, but it's strongly recommended. If you need medical care, costs can be high. Some airlines may ask for proof of insurance before boarding.
Overstaying is a violation of Schengen rules. You may be fined, banned from re-entering the Schengen area for up to 5 years, or both. Always leave before your 90 days are up.
