TL;DR
Luxembourg uses no outsourced visa centre in the UK. The Embassy of Luxembourg in London handles applications directly and arranges appointments by email, using the contact details on its own visa page. There is no centre service fee, only the 90 euro consulate fee for an adult, about 81 pounds. Standard processing is 15 calendar days after biometrics, so ask for a date early.
How to get a slot
To get a Luxembourg Schengen visa appointment in the UK, email the Embassy of Luxembourg in London using the contact details published on its visa page, and ask for an appointment. There is no booking site and no calendar to refresh: the date comes from the embassy itself. That removes the centre fee and the queue-jumping industry around it, but it also means your request has to be clear and early, and that you should be sure Luxembourg is the right country for your trip before you send it.

If there are no slots
Wait times for Luxembourg appointments are not published and not verifiable, so treat any quoted number of days or weeks with suspicion. What actually helps:
- Remember there is no live calendar to refresh. The date comes by email, so ask early and keep everything in one thread.
- Accept that London is the only option. With no second city to compare, applying early replaces shopping around.
- Ask up to 6 months ahead of travel, which is the earliest the rules allow you to apply.
- Ignore resellers and slot bots. Booking is direct and free, consulates have voided bot-booked appointments, and no third party can create a date the embassy has not offered.
Before your appointment
Applying directly to an embassy means the file is read by the people deciding it, so bring a complete one:
- Checklist generator: a tailored document list for a Luxembourg application
- Bundler and Compressor: assemble your file and size it for upload
- Travel insurance covering at least 30,000 euros of medical costs, valid across the Schengen area
- Accommodation proof and a flight itinerary that match your stated dates
- Bank statements covering the recent months
Luxembourg City is often one stop on a wider trip, and plenty of travellers reaching it through a neighbouring country should be applying elsewhere. Check which country to apply to and the main destination rule before you email anyone.
After the slot: the application
The date is half the job; the file you carry into the embassy decides the rest. Read the overview of getting a Schengen appointment in the UK and the full Luxembourg visa from the UK guide, along with current Luxembourg processing times. Total up what the application will really cost with the cost calculator. If you would rather not manage any of it, our done-for-you Schengen service prepares the application, builds the document file and books the appointment for a £99 service fee; you attend biometrics and pay the official fees yourself.

Common questions
- 01
Does Luxembourg use VFS or TLScontact in the UK?
No. Luxembourg is one of the few Schengen states that has not outsourced UK applications to a visa centre. The Embassy of Luxembourg in London handles them directly and arranges appointments by email, which means there is no centre service fee on top of the consulate fee you pay.
- 02
How do I get a Luxembourg visa appointment in the UK?
There is no online booking calendar. You email the Embassy of Luxembourg in London, using the contact details on its visa page, to request an appointment, then attend on the date the embassy offers. Keep the exchange in one thread and reply promptly to anything the embassy asks you to send.
- 03
What does a Luxembourg Schengen appointment cost in the UK?
The consulate fee is 90 euros for an adult, roughly 81 pounds, with 45 euros for children aged 6 to 11 and nothing for under 6s. There is no visa centre fee, because the embassy takes applications directly, so the official cost of the appointment is the consulate fee alone.
- 04
Should I apply to Luxembourg or a neighbouring country?
Apply to the country where you will spend the most time. Luxembourg is small, and many travellers who pass through it spend longer in a neighbouring country, which would then be the correct place to apply. If the stays are equal, apply to the country you enter first. Our which country guide walks through the rule.
- 05
Can a paid service get me an earlier embassy appointment?
No. The embassy arranges dates itself, by email, and the booking is free, so resellers and slot bots have nothing to sell you. Consulates have voided appointments booked through bots. Emailing early and answering promptly is the only thing that genuinely moves an embassy appointment forward.
