Israel to Luxembourg visa requirements

No visa required. Israeli ordinary passport holders can visit Luxembourg visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism. Luxembourg is a member of the Schengen Area and the European Union. Israel is listed in Annex II of EU Regulation 2018/1806, the list of third countries whose nationals are exempt from the short-stay visa requirement. This means an Israeli ordinary passport holder may enter Luxembourg (and the wider Schengen Area) without a visa for tourism, business, family visits or transit, for stays of up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. No advance application or fee is currently needed; travelers simply present a valid passport at the external Schengen border. Border officers may still ask for proof of onward/return travel, sufficient funds, accommodation and travel medical insurance, and entry can be refused if conditions are not met. The passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure from the Schengen Area and issued within the previous 10 years. Looking ahead, the EU's ETIAS travel authorisation will eventually become mandatory for visa-exempt nationals including Israelis; it is expected to launch in late 2026 with a transitional/grace period, after which a EUR 7 online authorisation (valid 3 years) will be required before travel. As of 2 June 2026 ETIAS is not yet in force, so no authorisation is required today. The 90/180 rule is cumulative across all Schengen countries, not per country.
