A visa application in Luxembourg : all the information you need to know in 2025.
At Initium Corporate Services, we regularly assist individuals and businesses with their administrative procedures in Luxembourg, particularly with visa applications. It is essential to understand the changes and procedures related to entering Luxembourg.
A sharp increase in visa applications
In 2024, Luxembourg reached a new milestone by receiving over 30,000 visa applications, a volume never seen before. This growth reflects the country’s dynamic and stable image on the international stage, attracting workers, students, families, and tourists alike.
This increase is partly explained by improved air connections, particularly with Asia. For example, the launch of a direct flight between Zhengzhou (China) and Luxembourg City has contributed to the surge in applications from China.
What types of visas are available ?
The main categories of visas issued by the Luxembourg authorities include :
- Short-stay visa (type C) : For stays of up to 90 days (tourism, business, family visits).
- Long-stay visa (type D) : For those wishing to reside in Luxembourg for more than 90 days (work, studies, family reunification, etc.).
However, each type of visa has specific conditions, particularly regarding required documents, financial guarantees, health insurance, and sometimes accommodation.
In 2024, the majority of applications were focused on :
- Family reunification
- Tourism
- Business trips
- Long-term stays
From which countries do visa applications to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg originate ?
Among the most active regions in terms of visa applications are:
India, via the consulate in New Delhi, representing a particularly high volume;
Turkey, with a steady flow from Ankara;
China, showing strong growth, especially due to improved air connectivity;
The United Kingdom, where the impact of Brexit continues to be felt, as British citizens now have to go through consular procedures to come to Luxembourg. In London, applications have doubled in two years, reflecting this post-Brexit shift.
A more rigorous administrative process
With such an influx, the Luxembourg consular services had to adjust their procedures. Document checks have become more stringent, with particular attention given to the consistency of supporting documents: proof of funds, accommodation certificates, invitation letters, etc.
This means that incomplete or poorly prepared applications are more likely to be rejected or delayed.
