Travellers from the countries listed above will need official documents proving their residence in one of these countries (residence permit, residence certificate, work permit, etc.). These documents must be accompanied by a translation into one of the administrative languages of Luxembourg (Luxembourgish, German or French) or into English.
Until 15 May 2021, any person, regardless of nationality, aged 6 years or older, who wishes to travel by air to Luxembourg, must present a negative result (on paper or electronically) of a biological test for COVID-19 upon boarding. This may be a detection test or a search for the COVID-19 viral antigen.
The examination must have been carried out less than 72 hours before the flight, by a medical analysis laboratory or any other organisation authorised for this purpose.
The negative result must be accompanied, if necessary, by a translation into one of the administrative languages of Luxembourg (Luxembourgish, German or French) or into English. As of now, documents in Italian, Spanish or Portuguese will also be accepted.
In addition, from 1 April 2021, persons travelling by air from a third country no longer have to undergo an additional test for viral antigen (rapid test) on arrival at Luxembourg airport.
The testing requirements for all persons wishing to enter Luxembourg by air travel are in addition to the temporary restrictions already in place for non-essential travel to the European Union (EU).
Citizens of the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom and the countries associated with the Schengen area, as well as their family members from these territories (EU, UK and Schengen area) can enter the EU freely.
Family members from third countries must meet the usual conditions for entry into Luxembourg, whether for a short or long stay in Luxembourg.
People who received an invitation to be vaccinated during the 3rd phase of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, but did not book an appointment, can register on a waiting list in order to receive a new invitation to be vaccinated.
The Chamber of Commerce offers regular webinars for businesses to support their development. From 9 to 29 April 2021, you can register online for several events.
Due to the current health situation, the family leave COVID-19 has been extended until 17 July 2021 inclusive. The new application form is now available on Guichet.lu.
