Hunting in Luxembourg is subject to obtaining a permit beforehand. The guest permit allows non-residents to hunt for 3 days on Luxembourg territory, on the hunting lots where they have been invited by the holders of hunting rights.
A hunting permit is always personal. They may not be lent or leased to others.

- who reside abroad;
- who hold a valid annual hunting permit in their country of residence.
Deadlines
Applications for guest permits must be submitted at least 15 days before the invitation date.
