  • Standard processing takes up to 15 calendar days

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Confirm which embassy currently represents Luxembourg for Kenyan visa applicants, since this can change
  • Common rejection reasons: insufficient bank balance, unclear travel purpose, weak ties to Kenya
  • If Luxembourg is not your main Schengen destination, apply at the embassy of the country where you'll spend the most nights
  • A Schengen visa issued for Luxembourg permits travel throughout the Schengen area during its validity
  • Extensions inside Luxembourg are rare and limited to documented emergencies
