Visa, Customs & Immigration

Visa / Entry Requirements

  • Luxembourg is part of the Schengen Area, so entry rules follow Schengen visa rules.
  • U.S. citizens (and many Western nationals) do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180‑day period for tourism or business.
  • However, as of future regulations, U.S. citizens may need ETIAS authorization (European Travel Information & Authorization System) before visiting the Schengen zone (including Luxembourg).
  • Passport must generally be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure date from the Schengen zone.
  • For stays longer than 90 days, a national visa or residence permit is needed.

Customs & Immigration Procedures

  • On arrival at Luxembourg Airport (LUX/Findel Airport), non‑EU travellers go through passport control / immigration.
  • Your passport, ETIAS (if needed), or any visa/permit documents will be checked.
  • You may be asked to show proof of onward/return ticket, accommodation bookings, and sufficient funds.
  • Customs: standard rules apply; declare goods above duty‑free limits; restrictions on agricultural products, etc.
