Luxembourg Visa RequirementsFor Bangladesh passport holders
Bangladeshi citizens need a Schengen visa to visit Luxembourg. The visa fee is EUR 90 ($98 USD) since June 2024. Due to the absence of a Luxembourg Embassy in Bangladesh, applicants typically apply at the German Embassy in Dhaka (which represents Luxembourg for Schengen visa purposes). Luxembourg is the world's wealthiest country by GDP per capita and the last remaining grand duchy, situated between France, Germany, and Belgium.
Bangladesh passport holders require a visa to enter Luxembourg.
Bangladeshi citizens should apply for a Luxembourg Schengen visa at the German Embassy in Dhaka (124 Gulshan Avenue, Gulshan-2, Dhaka), as Germany represents Luxembourg for Schengen visa applications in Bangladesh. Verify this arrangement before applying at de.dhaka.diplo.de. Required: valid Bangladeshi passport (minimum 3 months validity beyond stay), completed Schengen application form, biometric photo, return flight booking, accommodation proof, travel insurance (EUR 30,000 minimum), bank statements, employment letter, and visa fee (EUR 90 / $98 USD). Processing takes 8-10 weeks; apply 3+ months in advance.

Current Travel Situation
Bangladesh to Luxembourg: What You Need to Know
Bangladesh and Luxembourg have limited direct bilateral relations. Luxembourg does not have an embassy in Bangladesh; the German Embassy in Dhaka typically processes Luxembourg Schengen visa applications under the embassy representation system. Luxembourg is a small but exceptionally wealthy country (home to European Union institutions including the European Court of Justice and Court of Auditors), a major banking and financial center, and offers excellent English-language service. Luxembourg City is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its historic fortifications.
How to Get There
No direct Bangladesh-Luxembourg flights exist. Connect from Dhaka (DAC) to Luxembourg (LUX) via Frankfurt (Lufthansa), Brussels (Brussels Airlines), or Paris (Biman Bangladesh Airlines then Air France). From Luxembourg, Brussels (3 hours by train), Paris (2.5 hours), and Frankfurt (3.5 hours) are easily reached by rail. Total journey from Dhaka to Luxembourg is approximately 14-20 hours.
Money & Banking
Luxembourg uses the euro (EUR). Luxembourg is expensive: budget EUR 100-200 ($110-220 USD) per day. As one of the world's wealthiest countries, prices reflect the high living standards. However, Luxembourg is small enough to explore as a day trip from Brussels or Trier (Germany).
Practical Tips
Luxembourg City: the Bock casemates (centuries of underground fortification tunnels and chambers, UNESCO), Place d'Armes (central square), Notre-Dame Cathedral, the European Union Court of Justice building. The Moselle Valley (wine region): the Moselle River valley has excellent Riesling and Pinot Gris vineyards with castle ruins. The Müllerthal "Little Switzerland" region: forested sandstone gorges with hiking trails. Vianden Castle: one of Europe's most impressive medieval castles, overlooking the Our River valley.
