| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure from Schengen area | Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave the Schengen area, and must have been issued within the last 10 years.

| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Carry a confirmed hotel reservation for your entire stay, or a signed invitation letter from your host in Luxembourg if staying with friends or family.
