The ministry’s directory gives the town as “Luxembourg”, but the postcode L-7243 belongs to Bereldange in the commune of Walferdange.

Bereldange, in the commune of Walferdange, lies about 5 km in a straight line from the centre of Luxembourg City and about 7 km from Luxembourg Airport (Findel).

Citizens of Ethiopia need a Schengen visa for short stays in Luxembourg, as Ethiopia is listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 (consolidated version of 30 December 2025); Luxembourg applies the common Schengen visa list.

Which Ethiopian office issues passports and visas?

Passports and other formal consular services for Ethiopian citizens are handled by the Ethiopian Embassy in Brussels (accredited to Luxembourg).

Ethiopia has no embassy in Luxembourg. According to the directory of the diplomatic corps published by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (October 2026), the mission accredited to Luxembourg is the Embassy of Ethiopia in Brussels. It is headed by Eshete Tilahun Woldeyes (ambassador, credentials presented on 27 February 2025).

What can an honorary consul do?

An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Ethiopia and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Ethiopian citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.

Closing days

Luxembourg has 11 public holidays: New Year’s Day, Easter Monday, Labour Day (1 May), Europe Day (9 May), Ascension Day, Whit Monday, the National Day (23 June), Assumption (15 August), All Saints’ Day (1 November), Christmas Day and Boxing Day (26 December). A holiday that falls on a weekend is not moved; employees get a compensatory day off instead, so some offices close on a replacement day. In 2027, Easter Monday falls on 29 March and Ascension Day on 6 May. The honorary consulate may also close on Ethiopia’s national day (28 May).
