Myanmar passport holders need a visa to enter Luxembourg. You must apply for a Schengen visa at the Luxembourg embassy or consulate before you travel. As of 2026, there is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option for Myanmar citizens.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from Schengen | Your passport needs at least 2 blank pages for visa stamps. Schengen rules require the passport to be valid for 3 months after your intended exit from the Schengen zone — check your expiry date before applying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from Schengen | Immigration officers at Luxembourg airport will ask for a return flight or a ticket to a non-Schengen country. Budget airlines check this at check-in — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel confirmation for every night of your stay, or a signed invitation letter from a Luxembourg resident. Officers may ask to see it at passport control. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash | Show you have at least €65 per day for your stay. A recent bank statement, traveller's cheques, or cash in euros works. Officers rarely ask, but having it avoids delays. | Recommended |
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take up to 45 days, and appointment slots may be limited. Start your application at least 6–8 weeks before your planned travel date to avoid last-minute stress.
Schengen area rules apply
A Luxembourg visa allows you to travel freely within all 27 Schengen countries for up to 90 days. Your first point of entry must be Luxembourg, or you must spend the most days there. Keep your travel itinerary handy.
What happens at the border
1
Gather your documents
Collect your passport, completed visa application form, passport-sized photos, travel insurance, flight itinerary, hotel bookings, bank statements, and any other supporting documents. Make sure your passport has at least 6 months validity and one blank page.
2
Book an appointment at the embassy
Contact the Luxembourg embassy or consulate in your country (or the nearest Schengen embassy if Luxembourg doesn't have one there). Appointments are usually booked online or by phone. Expect to wait a few days to a few weeks for a slot.
3
Attend the visa interview
Go to the embassy on your appointment date with all original documents and photocopies. You'll submit your application, provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo), and pay the visa fee (€80 for adults, €40 for children 6–12, free for children under 6). Be prepared to answer questions about your trip.
4
Wait for processing
Standard processing takes 15 calendar days. It can be extended to 45 days if more checks are needed. You'll be notified when your passport is ready for collection or return by mail.
5
Travel and enter Luxembourg
Once you have your visa, fly to Luxembourg. At border control, present your passport with the visa sticker. The officer may ask for your return ticket, accommodation proof, and insurance. Answer clearly. You'll get a stamp allowing up to 90 days in the Schengen area.
