2
Submit Your Application
Apply at the Luxembourg embassy or consulate in Morocco, or at the visa application center they use (e.g., TLScontact or VFS Global). You must apply in person — no mail-in applications. Book an appointment online first.

Enter Luxembourg
At Luxembourg Airport (LUX) or any Schengen border, present your passport with the visa sticker. You may be asked for your return ticket and accommodation proof. The visa allows you to travel freely within the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
