  • Family visit visa: requires proof of relationship and sponsor's residency status
  • National (Type D) visa: for work, study, or long-term stays over 90 days, handled by Luxembourg's Immigration Directorate separately

How to apply

  • Since Luxembourg has no resident embassy in Pakistan, applications are routed through a designated representing Schengen state's embassy (commonly Belgium or Germany, depending on current arrangements) or an authorized VFS Global center
  • Steps: confirm current representation/VFS arrangement, book an appointment, submit the form, documents, and biometrics in person, pay the fee
  • Fee: approximately EUR 80 visa fee, plus a service center fee if using VFS (typically USD 25-35 equivalent)
  • Standard processing: up to 15 calendar days, longer if the representing mission needs to consult Luxembourg authorities directly
  • Decision and passport return handled through the same center where the application was lodged

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately EUR 80 for adults
  • Service center fee (VFS or representing embassy handling charge): approximately USD 25-35 equivalent
  • Total estimated cost: EUR 80-110 equivalent
  • Standard processing: up to 15 working days
  • Allow extra time since Luxembourg applications from Pakistan may require referral to the Luxembourg Immigration Directorate before a final decision

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Apply 4-6 weeks before travel; Schengen rules permit applying up to 6 months in advance
  • Common rejection reasons: insufficient financial proof, weak ties to Pakistan, unclear or inconsistent trip purpose
  • Confirm which embassy currently represents Luxembourg for Schengen visas from Pakistan before booking, as this can change
  • Keep certified translations of any Urdu documents
  • Extensions inside Luxembourg are granted only in exceptional cases through the Immigration Directorate; plan your full itinerary within the 90-day limit
