What happens at the border

Gather your documents
Collect your passport, completed visa application form, passport-sized photos, travel insurance, flight itinerary, hotel bookings, bank statements, and any other supporting documents. Make sure your passport has at least 6 months validity and one blank page.

Go to the embassy on your appointment date with all original documents and photocopies. You'll submit your application, provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo), and pay the visa fee (€80 for adults, €40 for children 6–12, free for children under 6).

Travel and enter Luxembourg
Once you have your visa, fly to Luxembourg. At border control, present your passport with the visa sticker. The officer may ask for your return ticket, accommodation proof, and insurance. Answer clearly. You'll get a stamp allowing up to 90 days in the Schengen area.
