Visit & tourism1 pathway

Schengen tourist & business visa
Luxembourg issues the uniform Schengen short-stay (type C) visa for tourism, business and visits to family or friends, valid for up to 90 days in any 180-day period in all Schengen countries. You apply to Luxembourg when it is your main or only destination, normally in your country of legal residence. The core rules (fee, insurance, passport and timing) are set by the EU Visa Code and are the same in every Schengen state; Luxembourg sets its own application channels.

Study1 pathway

Residence permit for third-country students
Non-EU nationals admitted to full-time higher education in Luxembourg follow two steps: before arriving they apply for a long-stay (D) visa for a 'student' residence permit, and after arriving they declare their arrival to the commune, take a medical check and apply for the residence permit before the D visa expires. Monthly resources must be at least 80% of Luxembourg's social inclusion income (REVIS). Students may work an average of 15 hours a week during term.
