Tourist Visa (Schengen Tourist Visa) Overview
The Luxembourg Tourist Visa is a Schengen short-stay Luxembourg Visa (Type C) that allows travel to Luxembourg and the wider Schengen Area for sightseeing, holidays, or general leisure purposes, for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Indian nationals are on Luxembourg’s list of countries whose citizens require a visa, so a Schengen visa must be obtained before travel; Luxembourg does not issue visas on arrival. The Schengen visa must be requested at the consulate of the country you intend to visit, or, if visiting more than one Schengen state, at the consulate of your primary destination. Since Luxembourg has limited diplomatic representation abroad, applicants in some countries may need to apply through the Belgian embassy or consulate representing Luxembourg for visa purposes. This visa does not permit any form of paid work. Approval is decided solely by the Luxembourg consulate, or the representing Schengen state’s mission, handling the application.
Eligibility
You may apply for a Luxembourg Tourist Visa (Schengen Tourist Visa) if:
- You are travelling to Luxembourg for tourism, sightseeing, leisure holidays, or recreational purposes.
- You are not travelling to Luxembourg for employment, business activities, or long-term study.
- You intend to stay only for the duration permitted under your Schengen Tourist Visa.
- You hold a valid passport with sufficient validity from the date of entry into Luxembourg and the Schengen Area.
- You can provide proof of confirmed accommodation, return or onward travel, and a planned travel itinerary.
- You have sufficient financial means to support yourself during your stay in Luxembourg and the Schengen Area.
- You satisfy the visa requirements prescribed by the Luxembourg and Schengen immigration authorities.
If tourism is the primary purpose of your visit, it should take precedence over any other reason (such as visiting friends or attending business meetings) when preparing your supporting documents, as the purpose of travel determines the documentation required for your Luxembourg Tourist Visa (Schengen Tourist Visa) application.

The Schengen visa fee is uniform across Schengen states for Type C visas. Certain categories, including third-country researchers travelling for scientific research, may be exempt from the fee entirely. Fees are non-refundable regardless of outcome. Exchange rates fluctuate, so INR values are approximate. Information may vary depending on individual circumstances; confirm the current fee at maee.gouvernement.lu or your visa application centre.
Luxembourg Tourist Visa Processing Time
Processing time for the Luxembourg Tourist Visa generally follows the standard Schengen estimate of up to 15 calendar days for a complete application, though this can extend depending on the consulate and application volume, particularly since Luxembourg’s limited network of diplomatic missions means some applicants apply through a representing Schengen country. Applicants should apply well in advance of their intended travel date, since the Embassy of Luxembourg has specifically warned that there are no advance guarantees a visa will be granted and no mechanism for unusually fast processing, regardless of claims made by unofficial websites or agents.
