Visas for Luxembourg, without the guesswork

Short stays in Luxembourg run on the shared Schengen rules — one C visa (or none, for exempt passports) covers all 29 countries. Everything else is national: where you apply, who runs the centres, and every stay over 90 days.

How Luxembourg takes applications

Good to know about Luxembourg

• Founding member (acquis since 26 March 1995) with a deliberately small consular network — expect to apply at a Belgian or Dutch mission acting for Luxembourg.
• The autorisation-de-séjour-first sequence means long-stay timelines run from the Luxembourg ministry's decision, not the embassy appointment.

Staying longer than 90 days

Long stays need a temporary authorisation to stay (autorisation de séjour) approved by the Immigration Directorate BEFORE the D visa is issued — a two-step sequence.
