  From 1 October 2026, third-country nationals planning to move to Luxembourg for more than 90 days for work, study or family reunification will have to apply in person for a D visa at a Luxembourg embassy or the relevant Belgian embassy. The six-month visa will allow entry to Luxembourg and travel within the Schengen area until the residence permit is issued; after arrival, applicants must register with their municipality within three days and apply for the residence permit.
