How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original passport with required validity and blank pages | required | visa application | Issued within ten years with two blank pages; valid at least three months beyond the duration of the visa being applied for, as specified by the mission. Supply the passport data-page copy and copies of Schengen visas obtained during the last five years if applicable. |
| Completed, dated and personally signed Schengen application | required | visa application | Use the official application form and relevant VFS checklist, with applicant details and signatures. Prepare all documents on A4 paper. |
| One recent colour photograph, 35 by 45 mm | required | visa application | White background, not more than six months old; paste to the form, do not staple. Use an unedited photograph without filters and write name/surname on the back. The mission specifies ICAO colour 35 by 45 mm; no paid photo service is imposed. |
| Personal trip explanation and full itinerary | required | visa application | Describe actual purpose, travel dates, destinations, transport and accommodation. Luxembourg must be the sole/main destination or first entry where no main destination can be determined. |
| Return reservations and connecting transport to Luxembourg | required | visa application | Use reservations or bookings; the Embassy does not require a paid flight ticket before the visa decision. Include the connecting flight, train or bus to Luxembourg, or explain travel by car. |
| Original three-month private bank statement with bank stamp and signature | required | visa application | Show transactions for the last three months, duly stamped and signed by the bank. Preserve this applicant evidence alongside tax and employee documents; do not assume an invitation automatically removes it. |
| Indian income-tax acknowledgements for two assessment years | required | visa application | Provide the last two assessment years’ income-tax return acknowledgements, alongside bank and employee evidence. |
| Three-month payslips, contract and original employer leave letter | required | visa application | Include payslips for the last three months and employment contract. Employer cover/leave letter must be original on business letterhead and state position, length of service and approved leave dates. |
| Evidence supporting return to India | required | visa application | Provide applicable economic, family or social ties, such as continuing employment, family responsibilities or property. These are examples; ownership of property is not mandatory for every applicant. |
| Schengen medical insurance and multiple-entry acknowledgement | required | visa application | At least EUR 30,000 for emergency medical/hospital care and repatriation including death throughout the Schengen trip. Use current approved insurer instructions. Multiple-entry applicants demonstrate the first intended visit and sign the declaration covering insurance for later journeys. Planned treatment costs are separate from emergency travel cover. |
| English originals or sworn English translation for other-language documents | required | visa application | All required documents must be in English or accompanied by an English translation by a sworn translator. The cited India guidance does not define an equivalent Indian agency/notary credential or require every English original to be translated. Confirm the proposed translator’s eligibility and any binding/certification format before commissioning; no blanket adult apostille or notarisation is established. |
| India VFS appointment, biometrics and timing | required | visa application | Apply through the official VFS India channel. Attend personally for biometrics as directed; previous fingerprints within 59 months and explicit exemptions are handled by the authority. Lodge no earlier than six months and ensure the Embassy receives the file at least 15 calendar days before travel. Embassy recommends four weeks, or six in March–June; allow one to four days each way for transfer. Normal assessment 15 calendar days, extendable to 45. Confirm current fee/payment and centre opening details. |
| Personally funded hotel reservations for the whole stay | required | visa application | Show hotel lodging throughout Luxembourg and every other visited Schengen country; private-home lodging and sponsorship are outside this scope. |
| Original bank letter on personal account status for three months | required | visa application | In addition to the transaction statement, follow the category instruction for an original bank letter showing personal-account status over the last three months. An integrated bank-issued document may satisfy both only if the receiving post accepts its contents/format; do not omit a separately requested letter by assumption. |
| Original bank letter confirming the credit-card limit | required | visa application | The current event/medical-category checklist lists an original bank credit-limit letter. This guide is limited to applicants who can provide it; no unsupported substitute or universal waiver for applicants without a credit card is assumed. |
| Doctor or institution certificate establishing treatment need | required | visa application | Document why the specific treatment in Luxembourg is needed. |
| Receiving institution confirms treatment capability and acceptance | required | visa application | Official receiving medical institution evidence must confirm it can provide the specific treatment and accept the patient. |
| Proof of treatment prepayment | required | visa application | Provide prepayment evidence; no universal percentage is established. Ordinary emergency-travel insurance is not a substitute for planned treatment funding. |
| Provider purpose letter and treatment schedule | required | visa application | The current medical tab uses the common event-template invitation/programme checklist and separately refers to the medical harmonised list. Provide the receiving provider’s purpose letter and actual treatment schedule alongside the explicit medical evidence; do not supply an unrelated congress or film programme. |

FAQs
Are all documents for Luxembourg medical treatment automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
