What documents do I need for a Luxembourg student residence permit application?

For the initial student application Luxembourg expects a full copy of your valid passport, a certificate of enrolment at an approved higher education establishment (university, BTS or recognised private institution), and a criminal record extract or sworn affidavit.

You also provide proof of sufficient financial resources, a health insurance certificate, and, if you are under 18, parental authorisation, along with proof of your address on arrival. PhD researchers are treated as students for this route. Preparing certified copies and translations early helps, because incomplete files pause the processing timeline until the missing pieces are supplied.
