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

Which Eswatini office issues passports and visas?

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

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 Eswatini and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Eswatini 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.

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 Eswatini’s national day (6 September).
