Luxembourg's Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs has confirmed that Luxembourg has followed up on a recommendation of the government's cabinet concerning the temporary restriction on travel to the EU by removing Japan from the list of countries from where travellers are restricted.
As from Monday 8 February 2021, Japan has been withdrawn from the list of third countries whose residents are exempt from temporary restrictions at the external borders of Luxembourg in relation to non-essential trips to Luxembourg - which are currently in force until 31 March 2021.
As a result, third-country nationals having their residence in Japan will therefore no longer be authorised to enter the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg from 8 February 2021 for non-essential travel.
The updated list of third countries whose residents are not affected by the temporary restrictions at Luxembourg borders for non-essential trips is therefore now as follows:
• Australia
• China (subject to confirmation of reciprocity at European Union level)
• South Korea
• New Zealand
• Rwanda
• Singapore
• Thailand
Residents of one of the aforementioned countries must also present a negative COVID-19 test prior to boarding their flight, and they also must undergo an additional test on arrival, according to the measures in place since 29 January 2021.
The full list of all the exemptions to the restrictions, as well as the exact procedures to be carried out beforehand by travellers, can be viewed online at
