Luxembourg Visa Application Centres (2025)

This page has been reviewed and verified by Michael Gibbons, UK Solicitor and Regulated Immigration Advisor, to ensure accuracy under current EU and Luxembourg immigration guidance. You can confirm application updates through our Luxembourg Visa Application Guide.

To submit your Luxembourg visa application and biometric data, you must visit an approved Visa Application Centre (VAC) or the nearest Luxembourg embassy. These centres handle the intake of applications, document verification, and forwarding to the Luxembourg MinistAdd Postry of Foreign Affairs for decision-making.

Where to Apply for a Luxembourg Visa

Luxembourg visa applications are typically processed by:

• Official Luxembourg Embassies and Consulates.
• Authorised Visa Application Centres (VACs) operated by service providers such as VFS Global.

Applicants outside Luxembourg should apply at the VAC or consulate responsible for their region of residence.

Booking an Appointment

Before visiting a VAC, you must book an appointment online. Walk-ins are not usually accepted.

1. Visit the VFS Global portal or the official Luxembourg embassy website.
2. Complete your online application form.
3. Select your nearest Visa Application Centre and choose an available appointment slot.
4. Print your appointment confirmation to present on the day of your visit.

You should aim to book at least two weeks in advance during peak travel periods.
