Luxembourg's Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs has confirmed that the Grand Duchy has followed up on Council recommendation (EU) 2021/1085 of 1 July 2021 amending recommendation (EU) 2020/912 concerning the temporary restriction of travel non-essential to the EU and the possible lifting of this restriction.

The list of third countries whose residents should not be affected by a temporary restriction at the external borders of non-essential trips to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is therefore updated by adding, with effect from 12 July 2021, the Saudi Arabia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Jordan, Kosovo, Republic of Moldova, Montenegro and Qatar.

Third country nationals residing in these countries will therefore be authorised to enter Luxembourg from Monday 12 July 2021. Proof of residence is the responsibility of the third country national.

The updated list of third countries whose residents are authorised to enter the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg now looks like this: Saudi Arabia, Albania, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, China (subject to confirmation of reciprocity at European Union level), South Korea, United States of America, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, New Zealand, Qatar, Republic of North Macedonia, Rwanda, Serbia, Singapore and Thailand, as well as Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan,
