Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Luxembourg. Apply at the Luxembourg embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option. This requirement is in effect for 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from Schengen area | Your passport needs at least two blank pages for visa stamps. Luxembourg border officers check the 3-month validity rule strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied entry. Airlines also enforce this at check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration officers routinely ask for a flight booking showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. A bus or train ticket to a non-Schengen country also works. Without it, expect a secondary interview and possible refusal. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Have a confirmed hotel reservation for your entire stay, or a signed attestation d'accueil (host declaration) from your Luxembourg host registered at the commune. Officers at border check this against your visa application details. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash | Carry recent bank statements showing sufficient funds for your stay — roughly €65 per day for accommodation and expenses. A credit card with a decent limit works too. Luxembourg rarely asks for this at the border, but Schengen visa officers require it during application. | Recommended |
No visa-on-arrival
There is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa for Mozambican passport holders. You must get a visa before you travel. Arriving without one means you'll be refused entry.
Schengen area rules
Luxembourg is part of the Schengen area. A Luxembourg visa allows you to travel to other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. But you must enter through Luxembourg first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at the Luxembourg embassy
Submit your visa application at the Luxembourg embassy or consulate in your region. You'll need to provide your passport, photos, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, and travel insurance. Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks.
2
Wait for visa approval
Once submitted, the embassy will process your application. You'll receive a visa sticker in your passport if approved. Check the visa validity dates carefully.
3
Arrive in Luxembourg
When you land at Luxembourg Airport (LUX), proceed to the immigration queue for non-EU citizens. Have your passport with the visa sticker, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer may ask about your travel plans.
