Entry requirements

| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from Schengen area | Immigration at Luxembourg airport will ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Budget airlines often check this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host ready. Border officers rarely ask for it, but they can request proof of where you're staying. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient means for your stay | Carry evidence of enough money for your trip — bank statements or cash. The official threshold is around €50 per day, but officers rarely check unless you look short. | Recommended |
Schengen area rules apply
Luxembourg is part of the Schengen zone. Your 90-day visa-free stay counts across all 27 Schengen countries. Use the Schengen calculator to track your days.
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your entry date. If it expires sooner, you will be denied boarding or entry. Renew your passport well in advance.
