Luxembourg visa for Senegalese citizens

Luxembourg’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities. Processing time, as Luxembourg states it: Usually 15 calendar days; up to 45 days when further checks or documents are needed. Apply at least 15 days and at most six months before the trip. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area.

Luxembourg has 1 mission in Senegal, with its embassy in Dakar.

In 2025, Luxembourg’s embassy and consulates in Senegal (Dakar) received 424 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 202. 48.6% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 42.9%: the rate rose by 5.7 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 18% compared with 2024 (358).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 51.9% of the applications lodged in Senegal that year, from 25.7% at the consulates of Germany to 82.1% at those of Portugal. Luxembourg’s consulates worldwide refused 14.8%. Luxembourg was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Senegal.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Senegal, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Before travelling from Senegal to Luxembourg, it helps to know the official travel advice: the US State Department rates Luxembourg at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 7 April 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Luxembourg (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Luxembourg (updated 13 October 2026).
