Luxembourg Business Visa — overview

The Luxembourg Business Visa is a short-stay Schengen visa (Type C) for business activity — meetings, conferences, training and business-related events — for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Alongside the standard Schengen documents, the embassy expects an invitation from the inviting Luxembourg company or organisation and a cover letter from your Indian employer, both confirming your identity, the purpose, and the period and place of the stay.

Lifeset Overseas helps you and the inviting company assemble a consistent business file so the purpose of the trip is clear.

Why it matters

Going it alone vs filing with us

Generic cover letters copied from the internet that officers recognise and flag.
No read on peak rejection windows or what this visa post is strict about.
