Who Needs a Luxembourg Visa from USA?

Luxembourg is a Schengen country, and citizens from certain countries can travel to the Schengen Area visa-free if their country has a visa waiver agreement with the EU. If you are lawfully residing in the USA and want to find out if you need a Luxembourg visa, it depends on your nationality. Take this simple assessment to determine whether you need a visa or not.

Wondering if your US passport lets you visit Luxembourg without a Visa?

Yes, you heard that right! US citizens do not need a visa to visit Luxembourg or any Schengen country for a short stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, once ETIAS is in effect, you’ll need to obtain this travel authorization before entering the Schengen Area. If you plan to stay in Luxembourg for more than 90 days, such as for studies or other reasons, you will need to apply for a visa.
