Event

Authorities in Luxembourg are maintaining limited COVID-19 measures as of March 17.

Domestic Measures
Wearing a facemask remains mandatory on public transport and in medical facilities. Visitors to medical facilities must present a CovidCheck certificate confirming the holder is vaccinated against, recovered from, or recently tested negative for COVID-19.

International Travel Restrictions
Travelers from countries within the EEA and Schengen Area and residents of Bahrain, Chile, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Kuwait, New Zealand, Peru, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, UAE, Uruguay, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan are permitted to enter Luxembourg. Most travelers from other countries remain prohibited, though exceptions exist for essential work, study, and family reasons. Nonessential travel is also permitted for individuals with a vaccine or recovery certificate recognized by Luxembourg authorities.

Luxembourg requires all incoming international air travelers to present documentation before boarding proving that they have either received a full course of a COVID-19 vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) (valid for nine months from the date of the last dose, a booster is required to extend validity beyond this), have recovered from COVID-19 in the previous six months, or have tested negative for COVID-19 using PCR test taken in the previous 48 hours or an antigen test in the previous 24 hours.

Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.

Advice

Follow all official instructions. Carry proper identification documents to present at security checks. Heed all official advisories and remain nonconfrontational if stopped by authorities. Consider delaying travel if experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates and guidance. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions.
