Luxembourg
TRAVEL INSURANCE
The Department of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance which will cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before travelling to Luxembourg. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake.
Irish Citizens should note that the Irish Government does not provide funds for emergency medical repatriation or for repatriation of remains.
You should also obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) free of charge which entitles you to emergency medical treatment. This card is NOT a substitute for travel insurance. See www.ehic.ie for further details. The EHIC replaces the Form E111, which is no longer valid.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Irish citizens do not require a visa to enter
Luxembourg.
It is advisable to carry your passport - or at least a clear
photocopy of same - at all times should you be requested to produce
a form of identification by the Luxembourg police.
SECURITY
Luxembourg shares with the rest of Europe a threat from terrorism.
CRIME
Most visits to Luxembourg are trouble-free. You are advised to take the usual, sensible precautions with your valuables and travel documents.
