Latvian passport holders can enter Luxembourg visa-free for short stays. As of 2026, you can visit for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, business, or family visits. No visa is needed, but you must meet standard Schengen entry requirements.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Luxembourg. Schengen rules do not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date, but your airline might enforce that — check with them before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Border officers at Luxembourg airport ask for a return or onward ticket to confirm you'll leave within the 90-day Schengen limit. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this at passport control. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Luxembourg doesn't publish a fixed minimum amount, but officers expect you to cover accommodation, food, and transport. A bank statement or credit card showing available credit is enough. | Recommended |
Schengen area rules apply
Your 90-day limit is for the entire Schengen Area, not just Luxembourg. Days spent in France, Germany, or any other Schengen country count toward the same 90-day total.
No visa needed — but carry your passport
You don't need a visa, but you must carry your valid passport at all times. Luxembourg police can ask for ID, and a photocopy isn't accepted.
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 to the border officer
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask about your trip purpose, length of stay, and accommodation. Answer clearly and briefly. They'll stamp your passport with the entry date.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There are usually no further checks for EU citizens. You're free to enter Luxembourg.
