Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must cover entire stay
Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Luxembourg. Schengen rules do not require 6 months beyond departure, but some airlines enforce it — check with your carrier before flying.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from Schengen area
Immigration officers at Luxembourg entry points routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready.Required
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Carry a hotel confirmation, Airbnb receipt, or a signed letter from your host with their address and contact info. Officers rarely ask, but not having it can delay entry.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself
Have bank statements, a credit card, or cash showing you can cover your stay. Luxembourg does not publish a fixed minimum, but €50–€100 per day is a safe benchmark.Recommended
Schengen 90/180-day rule applies
Your 90-day visa-free stay is for the entire Schengen Area, not just Luxembourg. If you've already spent time in France, Germany, or other Schengen countries, those days count toward your 90-day limit. Track your days carefully.
No visa needed for short stays
Peruvian passport holders can enter Luxembourg visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No application, no fee, no appointment needed.

What happens at the border

1
Arrive at Luxembourg Airport (LUX)
Luxembourg's Findel Airport is the main entry point. Follow signs to 'Passport Control' for non-EU citizens. The queue is usually short.
2
Present your passport and documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Answer clearly: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry. This stamp is your proof of legal stay. Keep it safe — you'll need it when leaving.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Green channel for nothing to declare, red channel if you have goods over €430 or restricted items.

Frequently asked questions

No. The 90-day visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and short-term study. Remote work for a non-Luxembourg employer is technically not allowed. If you plan to work remotely, you'd need a digital nomad visa or a work permit.
No. The visa-free stay cannot be extended. You must leave the Schengen Area after 90 days. Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a re-entry ban.
If you stay airside (don't pass through passport control) and your connecting flight is within 24 hours, no visa is needed. If you need to enter Luxembourg (e.g., to switch terminals or stay overnight), you'll need a visa unless you're visa-exempt.
Overstaying is a violation of Schengen rules. You may be fined, deported, and banned from re-entering the Schengen Area for up to 3 years. Always track your days carefully.
If you stay longer than 90 days, you must register with the commune (local town hall) within 8 days of arrival. For stays under 90 days, no registration is needed.
Luxembourg is a full Schengen member. A visa-free stay in Luxembourg counts toward your 90-day Schengen limit. You cannot stay 90 days in Luxembourg and then another 90 days in France.
You need a long-stay visa or residence permit. Apply at the Luxembourg embassy in Lima before you travel. Processing takes 2-3 months. Options include work, study, family reunification, or the digital nomad visa.
