Luxembourg Multipurpose Visa New Application Form and Document Requirement

Luxembourg has recently released its updated list of required documents for applicants seeking the Multipurpose Long-Stay D Visa in 2025. This visa is versatile and allows foreign nationals to reside in Luxembourg for over 90 days for a variety of purposes, including:

• Employment (work permits and EU Blue Card holders)
• Higher education (students enrolled in recognized institutions)
• Family reunification (spouses, dependents, and children of residents or citizens)
• Research (academic or scientific work)
• Entrepreneurship or business activities
• Cultural or voluntary activities
• Long-term medical treatment

The Long-Stay D Visa is valid for up to one year, with the possibility of transitioning into a residence permit for extended stays. Below is a step-by-step guide to help applicants prepare the required documents for this visa application.

New General Rules for Luxembourg D Visa Holders

Holders of the Luxembourg Multipurpose D Visa must adhere to the following rules:

1. Purpose-Specific Use: The visa is granted for a specific purpose, and the holder must comply with the stated purpose (e.g., work, study, research).
2. Travel in the Schengen Zone: Visa holders are permitted to travel within other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
3. Residence Permit Application: Within 90 days of entering Luxembourg, the visa holder must apply for a residence permit to continue their stay.
4. No Deviation: Engaging in activities not aligned with the visa’s purpose without authorization is prohibited.

Documents Needed Before Applying for the D Visa

Before submitting an application for the D Visa, non-EU nationals must obtain a Temporary Authorization to Stay from the Luxembourg Immigration Directorate. This is a mandatory pre-approval step.

Time to assemble your Visa Superhero Starter Pack! Think of it as your ticket to adventure—each document is a puzzle piece, and when they all fit together, the magic happens. No paper clips, no staples, no punched pockets (this isn’t arts and crafts class). Just neatly stack your papers in the perfect order and hand over your golden package of dreams!

Here’s what you need to prepare for this process:

• Application for Temporary Authorization to Stay: Submit an application to the Immigration Directorate in Luxembourg from your home country.
• Proof of Purpose: Depending on your intended activity in Luxembourg, provide evidence such as:
  1. Employment contract (for workers)
  2. University admission letter (for students)
  3. Marriage certificate or proof of relationship (for family reunification)
  4. Research invitation or funding approval (for researchers)
• Passport Copy: Submit a copy of your valid passport.
• Proof of Financial Means: Show sufficient funds to support your stay.
• Medical Insurance: Proof of valid health insurance for your stay in Luxembourg.

The Temporary Authorization to Stay is usually issued within a few weeks. Once you have received it, you can proceed to apply for the Long-Stay D Visa.
