There are three neighbours - Belgium, Germany and France, all inside the Schengen area: there is no permanent control.

The country has no sea coast.

Findel airport takes flights from the European hubs.

Trains link Luxembourg with Brussels, Paris and Trier.

Public transport inside the country is free - a rarity, and in practice a car is not needed here.

Bringing a car into Luxembourg

The practical option is to rent a car once you are in Europe.

A Green Card is compulsory.

Fuel here is cheaper than in the neighbouring countries, and filling up on the way through is a local tradition.

Public transport is free, so not everyone needs a car.

Travelling to Luxembourg with a pet

The rules are the same across the EU.

An ISO-standard microchip is compulsory, implanted before the rabies vaccination.

Rabies vaccination - and a 21-day wait before entry.

A rabies antibody titre test is required only for pets from a country not on the EU's approved list. The US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK are on the list, so this does not apply to pets travelling from those countries; Russia is one of the countries it does apply to. A three-month wait then applies before entry.

An EU veterinary certificate is required.

No more than five animals per person.

Overstaying your visa in Luxembourg

The violation is recorded across the whole Schengen area.

The main consequence is a refusal of your next visa.

An entry ban for a substantial overstay applies to the entire area.

Days are counted across the whole of Schengen.

What else to check before you go

更新日

Entry rules change faster than anything else on this site, and they change without notice. We cross-check every page against several sources and state the date it was verified, but that does not replace the main step: before you travel, check an official source — the country’s consulate, its immigration service or its e-visa portal. Especially if more than a couple of months have passed since our check.
