How many days can you spend in Luxembourg?
Luxembourg signed the Schengen Agreement in 1985 and has been in the Schengen area since it began in 1995. Visiting from outside the EU, you can spend 90 days in any 180 in the area, Luxembourg included. For tax, a stay of more than six months — or a home you keep and use — makes you resident. With EU long-term resident status, the EU directive ends it after 12 months in a row outside the EU, or 6 years outside the country that granted it; countries may allow longer.
Visas and stays
How long can you stay in Luxembourg as a visitor?
How many days can you spend in Luxembourg as a visitor from outside the EU? 90 in any 180, counted across all 29 Schengen countries together — days elsewhere in the area use them up too. EES records every entry and exit.
Tax residency
Tax residency in Luxembourg: six months, or a home
How many days can you spend in Luxembourg before you’re tax resident? Luxembourg doesn’t count 183 days: a stay of more than six months makes you resident from its start, and a home you keep and use is enough on its own. Cross-border workers whose life is abroad are, in principle, non-resident.
Residence permits
Living in Luxembourg: EU long-term residence
Under the EU directive, EU long-term resident status is lost after 12 months in a row outside the EU, or 6 years outside the country that granted it; countries may allow longer. Luxembourg’s own residence permits aren’t covered here yet.

Luxembourg: questions and answers.
Is Luxembourg in Schengen?
Yes: Luxembourg has been in the Schengen area since 1995, when checks at its borders with the other Schengen countries were abolished. It joined the EU in 1958. It was one of the five countries that signed the Schengen Agreement in 1985.
How long can I stay in Luxembourg as a US citizen?
As a visitor, the same as anyone from outside the EU: 90 days in any 180 across the 29 Schengen countries together, Luxembourg included. Since EES, your entries and exits are recorded at the border instead of stamped in your passport.
How long can I stay in Luxembourg without becoming tax resident?
No more than six months in one stay, with no home there you keep and use. Past six months, you’re resident from the start of the stay.
Can I spend 90 days in Luxembourg and then 90 in France?
Not as a visitor from outside the EU: the 90 days in any 180 count every Schengen country together, so days in Luxembourg and in the rest of the area add up.
How long can an EU long-term resident in Luxembourg be outside the EU?
Under the EU directive, 12 months in a row, or 6 years outside the country that granted the status. Countries may allow longer absences, and must have an easier way to get the status back.
