Luxemburg

Översikt

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is amongst the lowest risk countries in the world. The main security threat is posed by the range of crime factors such as pick pocketing and non-violent theft, but even this threat is considered limited. Luxembourg has a highly skilled police force that effectively combats criminal activity.

Hälsa, sjukdomar och vaccination

As a European country with a developed infrastructure, the health concerns to travellers remain limited. Travellers will require vaccinations for MMR, tetanus-diphtheria and influenza.

For any emergencies it is strongly advised to use facilities in the capital. Medical stores operate on a rotational 24-hour basis in Luxembourg and travellers will need to contact the medical authorities as to which services are available.

Hospitals and clinics also operate outside the capital, though the service is less consistent. For major procedures that require support beyond the capacity of Luxembourg, the patient may have to be transported to France or Belgium. As such, travel insurance is required.

Pass

Citizens from the EU can enter Luxembourg with a National ID or passport. Validity for EU passport holders is for the duration of stay, while non-EU nationals do require validity for three months beyond their date of departure. If travelling into Luxembourg from a Schengen Agreement country then EU nationals are not required to show their passports.

Visum

EU nationals do not require a visa for Luxembourg and can stay indefinitely, but should register with local authorities after three months. Nationals from Canada, US and Australia can stay visa-free for 90 days. Visitors from other countries should seek advice from the relevant diplomatic offices regarding specific requirements.
