Czech passport holders can enter Luxembourg without a visa for short stays (up to 90 days within any 180-day period). This has been the case since Luxembourg joined the Schengen Area. For 2026, the rules remain unchanged — just ensure your passport meets the validity requirements.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport just needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Luxembourg. Schengen border officers rarely check the 6-month rule for EU passport holders like Czech citizens, but airlines might still ask for it — carry your passport with at least 3 months validity to be safe. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration at Luxembourg Airport or any Schengen entry point will ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight, train, or bus booking out of the Schengen zone before your 90th day. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation, Airbnb receipt, or a signed letter from your host in Luxembourg. Border officers rarely ask for it for Czech passport holders, but it's the first thing they request if you look like you're staying longer than a weekend. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your stay — roughly €65 per day is the informal threshold. I've never been asked for it entering Luxembourg from another Schengen country, but they might check if you arrive directly from outside the EU. | Recommended |
Schengen Area rules apply
Your 90-day visa-free stay counts across all 27 Schengen countries, not just Luxembourg. If you've already spent time in France or Germany earlier in the year, that time counts toward your total.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Luxembourg Airport (LUX) or land border
You'll enter the Schengen Area at Luxembourg Airport (LUX) or via a land border from Belgium, France, or Germany. At the airport, follow signs to 'EU/EEA/CH' passport control. Hand over your passport — the officer will check it and may ask about your stay. No visa is needed, so you'll just get an entry stamp.
2
Present your documents if asked
The officer may ask for your return ticket, accommodation booking, or proof of funds. Have these ready on your phone or printed. Answer honestly about your plans — short tourism or business visits are fine.
3
Receive entry stamp and proceed
Once cleared, you'll get an entry stamp in your passport. That's it — you're in Luxembourg. The whole process usually takes 2-5 minutes per person.
