Luxembourg long stay visas are for residence beyond 90 days, employment, business establishment, and studies. These are national visas that require sponsorship, employment contracts or enrollment, and follow a different, more detailed process than short stay visas.
This one needs a conversation
- Eligibility depends on your purpose, employer sponsorship, educational enrollment, or business plan.
- Processing times are longer (8 to 12 weeks) and government charges are different from short stay Schengen visas.

Standard processing is 15 days. In peak seasons or for complex applications, it can take up to 30 to 45 days. Our team submits your file as early as possible to secure the fastest outcome.
Luxembourg visas are sticker visas. A physical visa sticker is affixed to your passport. You collect your passport from VFS after the visa is granted.
You need confirmed bookings (hotel and flight) to show your travel intent, but these should be refundable or flexible until your visa is approved. Do not purchase non refundable tickets until you receive the grant decision.
