Before your arrival at Luxembourg School of Business

1. Entry Requirements for EU citizens

If you are a citizen of an EU Member State (or Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland), you do not need a visa or authorization to stay for your studies at Luxembourg School of Business.

To enter Luxembourg and enroll at LSB you need:

• ID or passport
• health insurance (covering the entire period of your study exchange). More information below

2. Entry Requirements for NON EU citizens

A.  Authorisation to Stay (ATS)

You have to apply for the Temporary authorisation to stay (ATS) immediately after receiving the Letter of Admission from LSB

! IMPORTANT ! Instructions for the ATS application

The process to obtain ATS may take several weeks, it is therefore crucial that you meet the deadline for ATS application. In case you do not submit your ATS application before deadline, you will no longer be considered for a student at Luxembourg School of Business

B. Visa

Visa requirements are depending on your country of citizenship. Check whether you have to obtain a visa to enter the Schengen area.

Request a type D visa after you obtain the temporary authorisation to stay. 

If the third-country national is subject to the visa requirement, he must, with his authorization to stay, submit before his trip and from his country of origin, an application for a type D visa to the diplomatic representation or consular office of Luxembourg in its country of origin, or with the embassy or consulate of the country in the Schengen Area which represents Luxembourg there in matters of visa delivery (Belgian embassy or consulate only).

C. Health Insurance

On your arrival to LSB, you have to provide a proof of your health insurance for the entire period of your study exchange.

You have the following options:

a) provide a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)

b) provide a confirmation of a private health insurance that specifies the beginning and the end date of coverage

c) pay for Luxembourg national health insurance on their arrival to Luxembourg School of Business  (see below)

National health insurance in Luxembourg:

In case you do not have a health insurance on your arrival, you have the possibility to pay for the health insurance directly at LSB. You will be affiliated to the national “Centre commun de sécurité sociale » and you will be required to pay the health insurance fees for the whole year.

Bear in mind that if you are NOT covered by any health insurance valid in Europe, you will not be reimbursed in case of illness or hospitalization. All medical cost would be at your own expense.
