Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

For a short stay (up to 90 days in any 180), you apply for the uniform Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) through Luxembourg when it is your main destination — the eligibility, documents, fee, insurance and processing follow the shared Schengen rules. For a stay of more than 90 days, you apply for Luxembourg's national long-stay visa (Type D) through its consular authority, under its own national procedure.

Short stays (Type C)

Follow the shared Schengen process: complete the application form, book an appointment, give biometrics, and provide your supporting documents and travel medical insurance (minimum €30,000 cover). See our Schengen visa guide for the full shared steps.

Long stays (Type D)

National long-stay visas are issued by Luxembourg under its own rules. Confirm the specific route and its requirements with Luxembourg's national consular authority.
