Overview
Indian nationals visiting Luxembourg for short-term business activities — including trade meetings, exhibitions, professional training, or investment discussions — must apply for a Luxembourg Schengen Business Visa (Type C).
As a Schengen member, this visa allows travel across all 27 Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. The visa is strictly for business-related travel and does not allow paid employment or long-term residence in Luxembourg.
Applications are processed via VFS Global Luxembourg Visa Centres across India, under the jurisdiction of the Embassy of Belgium in New Delhi, which represents Luxembourg for visa matters.
