What this document is
For Luxembourg the D visa is requested at a Luxembourg embassy or consulate in the country of origin or residence; Belgian embassies issue it as well. An application filed once the person is already in Luxembourg is not accepted. The D visa runs for 6 months, and during that time the residence permit is applied for; for studies and for private reasons, an authorisation from the Directorate of Immigration (Direction générale de l’immigration) comes first.
A national type D visa is a long-stay visa for stays of more than 90 days. In the Schengen states this is laid down in Article 18 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement: long-stay visas are national visas, issued by each state under its national law or Union law.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
