Schengen area
Indian citizens travelling to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as tourists need a Schengen short-stay visa. Applications are lodged at VFS Global and decided by the Embassy of Luxembourg in New Delhi. The embassy states plainly that it does not ask for confirmed air tickets; it wants a transport reservation, a hotel booking and a full travel programme.
Where to apply: Submit the application at a Luxembourg visa application centre run by VFS Global in India. Tourist applicants must submit in person; agents and representatives cannot lodge tourist files. The Embassy of Luxembourg in New Delhi decides.
