Indonesia to Luxembourg visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Luxembourg for tourism. Indonesia is NOT visa-exempt, so ETIAS does not apply. Luxembourg is a member of the Schengen Area, and Indonesia is a "visa-required" third country for Schengen short stays. An Indonesian ordinary passport holder must obtain a Schengen Type C short-stay visa before traveling for tourism. The visa permits stays of up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area, not just Luxembourg. Because Indonesia is not on the EU's visa-exempt list, Indonesian nationals do NOT use the upcoming ETIAS travel authorization (expected late 2026) - ETIAS is only for visa-free nationalities; Indonesians will continue to need a full Schengen visa. The standard visa fee is EUR 80 (Luxembourg government pages also cite EUR 90 inclusive figures in some materials; the Schengen statutory short-stay fee is EUR 80, plus a VFS service fee). Luxembourg has no visa-issuing diplomatic mission in Indonesia; under Schengen representation arrangements the Embassy of Belgium in Jakarta processes Luxembourg short-stay visa applications, with biometrics and submission handled through the VFS Global centres in Jakarta (and Bali/Surabaya). Applications can be lodged no earlier than 6 months and no later than 15 calendar days before travel; standard processing is up to 15 calendar days, extendable to 45 days. Applicants must show a passport valid at least 3 months beyond the intended departure with two blank pages, travel medical insurance with minimum EUR 30,000 coverage, proof of accommodation, round-trip itinerary, and sufficient financial means.

/06 — The risks

Common refusal reasons

by frequency
/01
Indonesia is a Schengen visa-required nationality
Indonesia is not on the EU's Annex II visa-exempt list, so Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Schengen visa for any short stay in Luxembourg.
High
/02
ETIAS does not apply to Indonesians
ETIAS (expected late 2026) is only for visa-exempt nationalities. Indonesia is not exempt, so a full Schengen visa is still required.
High
/03
Luxembourg is part of the Schengen Area
The 90/180-day short-stay rule and uniform visa policy apply, and the visa is valid across all Schengen states.
High
/04
No Luxembourg visa post in Indonesia
Belgium represents Luxembourg; applications are processed via the Belgian Embassy / VFS Global in Jakarta, which can affect appointment availability and timing.
Medium
/07 — On arrival
