What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Luxembourg Airport (LUX)
You'll land at Findel Airport. Follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Passport Control'. Schengen and non-Schengen lines are clearly marked — join the 'All Passports' or 'Non-EU' queue.
2
Present Your Documents at Immigration
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying, and return date. Answer clearly. They may also ask to see your return ticket and accommodation proof.
3
Get Your Passport Stamped
If everything is in order, the officer will stamp your passport with the entry date. This stamp records your 90-day allowance. Check the stamp before walking away.
4
Collect Luggage and Exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim. Then head through customs (green channel if nothing to declare) and exit into the arrivals hall.
