Visa required — apply well in advance
Indonesian passport holders must obtain a Schengen visa before traveling to Luxembourg. Do not book non-refundable flights or hotels until your visa is approved. Processing can take 15 days or longer.
Travel insurance is mandatory for visa
You must have travel health insurance covering at least €30,000 for medical emergencies and repatriation. This is a visa requirement, not just a recommendation.
