Description

Swiss citizens do not require a visa to enter Luxembourg for short stays. Switzerland is part of the Schengen Area, and Luxembourg is likewise a Schengen member state. This means Swiss travelers benefit from free movement within Luxembourg and the wider Schengen Zone, using only a valid Swiss passport or national ID card. No separate travel authorisation, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required.

Our Travel Authorisation Luxembourg service helps Swiss travelers understand Schengen stay limits, customs allowances, and health requirements. While entry is straightforward, being informed ensures smooth travel, especially when combining Luxembourg with other Schengen destinations.

Visa process and timing
There is no need to apply for a visa before traveling. When entering from another Schengen country, routine border checks are not carried out. However, Swiss citizens must carry valid identification, as police or airline checks can still occur.

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens

Valid Swiss passport or national ID card
Compliance with Schengen short-stay rules: maximum 90 days in any 180-day period across all Schengen states combined
For longer stays (work, study, or residence), Swiss citizens must register with local authorities in Luxembourg

Health and insurance rules

No mandatory vaccinations required for entry from Switzerland
Swiss travelers can access healthcare services in Luxembourg with their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
Private travel insurance is recommended to cover costs such as repatriation, private care, or travel disruptions

Customs and border rules

As both Switzerland and Luxembourg are in the Schengen customs framework, standard EU duty-free allowances apply for alcohol, tobacco, and consumer goods
Cash amounts above €10,000 must be declared when entering or leaving Luxembourg
Restricted or prohibited items (such as firearms or controlled substances) require special permits

Stay limits and extensions
Swiss citizens may stay in Luxembourg for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a visa. For stays longer than 90 days, Swiss travelers must apply for the appropriate residence permit from Luxembourg’s Immigration Directorate. Overstaying Schengen allowances may lead to fines or future entry restrictions.

Luxembourg offers Swiss travelers a compact yet rich mix of culture, finance, and natural beauty — from the historic Luxembourg City fortress and UNESCO World Heritage sites to scenic castles and hiking trails in the Ardennes. With our Travel Authorisation Luxembourg service, Swiss citizens receive clear guidance on Schengen rules, customs, and travel preparation for a seamless journey.
