Mongolian passport holders need a visa to enter Luxembourg in 2026. Apply at the Luxembourg embassy or a Schengen visa application center before you travel. Processing can take several weeks, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area | Your passport needs at least 3 months of validity after the date you leave Luxembourg (and the entire Schengen zone). It must have been issued within the last 10 years. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Schengen visa application Apply at the Luxembourg embassy or VFS Global centre in your country of residence | You need a Schengen C visa for short stays (up to 90 days within any 180-day period across all Schengen countries). Apply at the Luxembourg embassy or a VFS Global centre in your home country. Submit your application at least 15 days before travel but no more than 6 months in advance. The fee is €80 for adults, €40 for children 6–12.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Border officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you'll leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. A flight booking to a non-Schengen country works. If you're overlanding to another Schengen country, have a bus or train ticket ready — they still want to see an exit plan. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter for the entire stay | Have a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a signed invitation letter from a host in Luxembourg for every night of your stay. The visa application already asks for this, but immigration may ask to see it again at the border. A printout or a screenshot on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash showing you can support yourself | Luxembourg doesn't publish a fixed daily amount, but officers expect to see at least €50–€70 per day of stay. A recent bank statement, credit card limit confirmation, or a combination of cash and cards works. If someone else is funding your trip, carry a signed sponsorship letter plus their bank statement. | Recommended |
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take up to 45 days, especially during summer or holiday seasons. Do not book non-refundable flights until your visa is approved.
