Who needs insurance to enter Luxembourg?

Health insurance is not only a recommendation, but often a requirement when visiting Luxembourg. Depending on the purpose of the visit, an insurance policy may be mandatory or desirable, but in any case it is extremely important for your safety.

- Tourists, students, employees

For all foreigners applying for a national visa or temporary residence permit in Luxembourg (residence permit), having health insurance is a mandatory requirement. This applies to:

1. University students,

2. Employees who have received a work permit,

3. Family members who are reuniting with relatives in the country.

The policy must cover the costs of treatment and repatriation in the event of illness or accident. As a rule, the amount of coverage must be at least 30,000 euros, and the insurance company must be recognized in the EU.

- Visa-free: do you need insurance?

Ukrainian citizens can stay in Luxembourg for up to 90 days within 180 days without a visa. Formally, medical insurance is not a mandatory document for visa-free entry, but border guards may ask for it as confirmation of your financial preparedness for unforeseen situations.

In addition, medical services in Luxembourg are expensive - a doctor's consultation can cost 50-100 euros, not including diagnostics or hospitalization. That is why budget travel insurance will be a reliable support on the trip.

- Insurance for refugees

Foreigners who have received temporary protection in Luxembourg are entitled to state health insurance, which covers basic medical services. This status allows you to receive assistance in state medical institutions. At the same time, additional private insurance may be required to receive services without queues or in private clinics.

- If you are traveling by car

It is worth mentioning separately about mandatory third party liability insurance (TLI). If you are entering Luxembourg by your own car, you need a valid Green Card - an international insurance certificate that confirms the presence of car insurance valid in EU countries. Without it, you may not be allowed at the border or be fined during the inspection.

On the Visit Ukraine portal, you can apply for a Green Card online in just a few minutes.

What are the requirements for an insurance policy for a trip to Luxembourg?

An insurance policy for entering Luxembourg must meet certain standards that depend on the duration and purpose of your stay. Two categories can be distinguished: short-term (up to 90 days) and long-term trips (over 90 days, with a visa or residence permit).

1. Short-term trips (tourism, business, transit, visa-free)

If you plan to stay up to 90 days, you need a medical insurance policy that meets the requirements of the Schengen area, namely:

- Minimum coverage amount – 30,000 euros

- Coverage of emergency medical care, hospitalization and repatriation costs

- Policy validity throughout the Schengen area

- Insurance company must be recognized in the EU

Such a policy may be required both when applying for a visa and at the request of a border guard during visa-free entry. Even if you are not asked to show a document at the border, it can be critically important in the event of a sudden illness or injury.

2. Long-term trips (study, work, residence permit)

When applying for a national visa type D or temporary/permanent residence in Luxembourg, the requirements for the insurance policy are more stringent:

- The policy must be valid for the entire period of stay in the country (from 90 days to several years).

- Must cover all medical services, including outpatient and inpatient treatment

A written confirmation of insurance coverage and a detailed description of the conditions of service provision are also often required.

What insurance can be taken out in Luxembourg?

When planning a trip to Luxembourg, it is important to choose a reliable insurance policy that will meet the purposes of the trip and the requirements of the migration authorities. There are two main options: taking out local insurance in Slovakia or purchasing a policy from a Ukrainian insurance company before the trip.

Local insurance in Luxembourg

Some foreigners, especially those who are already in the country with a residence permit or temporary protection, can take out health insurance with local companies.

- It is taken into account when applying for a residence permit

- Covers treatment in public and private medical institutions

- Not valid outside Luxembourg

- Can be expensive: from 400 to 1000+ euros per year

- Registration is possible only with a local IBAN and residential address

That is, for tourists, students at the stage of submitting documents or for short trips, local insurance is not a convenient option. It is more suitable for those who already have resident status or work in the country.

Online insurance through Ukrainian insurers

The most convenient and fastest way to get a policy is to apply for insurance online before the trip through a proven platform. For example, on the Visit Ukraine portal, you can:

- Apply for insurance that meets the requirements of Schengen and local residence permit.

- Receive an electronic policy by email in 5 minutes.

- Choose coverage: from 30,000 euros.

- Include the option of COVID-19, injury, repatriation insurance

- Pay by card from any country

Such policies are accepted by the Luxembourg migration service when applying for a national visa or residence permit, and are also ideal for tourists.
