With the authorization, apply for a temporary authorization to stay at the Luxembourg Immigration Directorate—before entering Luxembourg.
4. Apply for Type D (Long-Stay) Visa
Submit your work visa application (Type D) along with all documents at VFS Global Hyderabad, Punjagutta Metro Station, or authorized centers in India[6][7]. Book an appointment online, pay visa and service fees, attend biometric collection, and submit originals and copies.
5. Wait for Visa Processing
Processing can take 4–12 weeks. Tracking is available via VFS. Incomplete applications may delay processing.
