Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Required for Jordanian passport holders | Apply for a short-stay Schengen visa at the Luxembourg embassy or consulate in your country of residence. The visa allows stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period across all Schengen countries. Start the process at the official Luxembourg Guichet portal.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area | Your passport must have been issued within the last 10 years and have at least two blank pages. Airlines and border officers check these dates strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for Schengen entry | Immigration officers in Luxembourg will ask for proof of a return flight or onward travel out of the Schengen area. Have a printed or digital copy of your ticket ready — they check this at passport control. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a signed letter from a host in Luxembourg. Officers occasionally ask for this, especially if you're arriving without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash | Have recent bank statements showing sufficient funds for your stay — roughly €65 per day is the informal benchmark. Credit cards and cash both work, but a printed statement is easiest to show. | Recommended |

Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa at the border or online. You must apply at a Luxembourg embassy or consulate before you travel. Start the process at least 4–6 weeks in advance.
Schengen area rules
Luxembourg is part of the Schengen zone. With a valid visa, you can travel to other Schengen countries (e.g., France, Germany, Belgium) without additional visas, as long as you don't exceed 90 days total.

Arrive at Luxembourg Airport (LUX)
At passport control, present your passport with the visa sticker. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation proof. Have them ready. You'll be stamped in for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
