About This Visa

Indian ordinary-passport holders need a Schengen C. Usual staff path: signed C form (PDF on the Embassy short-stay page), then a Luxembourg VFS centre in India. The Embassy of Luxembourg in New Delhi decides. Ordinary tourists do not walk into the chancery. Do not use visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/lux or www.vfsglobal.com/luxembourg/india — they do not load.

This is not a Belgium VisaOnWeb path. Honorary consuls cannot take visa files. Luxembourg has no job-seeker visa.

2. Good to Know

Rules and notes that apply to every visa type

How to apply

  1. C form on the Embassy short-stay page. Lodge up to 6 months ahead (9 months seafarers). Apply at least 4 weeks before travel (6 weeks peak March–June). Under 15 calendar days before travel the Embassy may treat the file as inadmissible and send it back to VFS.
  2. Book VFS as the Embassy names (16 cities; Gurgaon, Pondicherry, and Trivandrum marked closed). VFS courier 1–4 days each way. Incomplete checklist holds the file. Do not use visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/lux — it does not load.
  3. Force majeure: email Newdelhi.Consulat@mae.etat.lu. VFS complaints: customercare@vfsglobal.com. File-handling complaints: that Consulate email.

Who can apply

  • Indian ordinary-passport holders living in India: Luxembourg VFS, then Embassy New Delhi, if Luxembourg is the main destination.
  • Not resident in India: only if legally here and they can justify filing here instead of home.
  • Honorary consuls: not visa counters.
  • Official/diplomatic passports: Embassy visa section with MEA verbal note. Long-stay D: national form / guichet — not this holiday C.
