Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Luxembourg. Schengen border officers rarely enforce the 6-month rule for Taiwanese passports, but your airline might — check with them before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration at Luxembourg airport and other Schengen entry points routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy showing you leave within 90 days. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a letter from your host ready. Officers at Schengen borders ask for this often, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry bank statements, a credit card, or cash to show you have at least €50–€100 per day of your stay. Schengen officers can ask for this at entry. | Recommended |
Schengen Area rules apply
Luxembourg is part of the Schengen Area. Your 90-day visa-free stay counts across all 27 Schengen countries. If you've already spent 30 days in France, you only have 60 days left for Luxembourg and the rest of Schengen.
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it expires sooner, you will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport well in advance.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Luxembourg Airport (LUX)
Luxembourg Airport is small and efficient. After deplaning, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Passport Control'. There are separate queues for EU and non-EU citizens. Join the 'All Passports' or 'Non-EU' line.
2
Present your passport and documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying, and proof of onward travel. Answer clearly. Have your return ticket and accommodation confirmation ready on your phone or printed.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date and the number of days allowed (usually 90). Check the stamp before walking away. If it's wrong, ask politely to correct it.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim. Then walk through the green 'Nothing to Declare' channel if you have no goods to declare. You're now in Luxembourg.
