For diplomatic and consular staff, international organization representatives (Luxembourg hosts several EU institutions including the European Court of Justice, European Investment Bank, and Eurostat), and their family members. Diplomatic and service/official passport holders may be exempt from visa requirements based on bilateral agreements between Luxembourg (or the EU/Schengen area) and the third country. Not all diplomatic passport holders are automatically exempt; exemption depends on nationality and the specific agreement in place. Those posted to EU institutions in Luxembourg follow specific accreditation procedures.
