Most of the population is vaccinated and the young that aren't are barely at risk (yes, there are always edge cases).
Let the world open up again and put this madness behind us. It'd be lockdown forever if it were up to some people

It's worth reading the fine print. It says
No word on US citizens/nationals.
As for restrictions, they remain unchanged: EU vaccination/recovery certificate or negative.
Maybe I’m being too pedantic here, but US citizens are third country nationals from Luxembourg’s perspective.
Quite frankly, their wording is ambiguous. The covid19 website doesn't list the US as a third country from which travel is permitted. The convoluted formulation IMO suggests that it targets only third-country nationals of the US. Otherwise, why not write "residents of the USA"?
Yea, I understand what you’re saying. But I just went through the immigration process last fall and everything online refers to someone like me (is resident and citizen that was moving to Luxembourg) as a third country national. Agree that ambiguous wording like this doesn’t help though.
When I traveled earlier in the month there were "high-risk", "risk" and "totally fine" countries cited by the website of the country I was going to. Anything else was up to interpretation and subject to testing, uploading results to the govt, to the airline, and potentially being screened on arrival.
I'd imagine it's similar in this case?
First I want to say I hate the legal vocabulary. Here is my analysis. EU nationals can come to Lux anytime. This rule is territory bound. So who was covered by the ban in the first place - third-country nationals (from Lux perspective) living in the States. Now they are removing the ban and have need to align it with original formulation.
Hope this is not more confusing than the original 😊
American here — I'll be starting a fellowship in Luxembourg in September and was told yesterday by the embassy that there would be no issues once I received my Temporary Stay Authorization. We're required to present a negative PCR test result upon arrival in Luxembourg since our vaccines are technically not recognized by the E.U. But things seem to be opening up only for those with visas and permits, and not to the general populace just yet.
Recently came from the US. Americans are still allowed to come to LUX as long as their Temporary Stay Authorization is approved. I think only Americans tourist are not allowed to come yet.
Yeah, but I believe most of the push from Americans (in America) to go as of late and on this sub has been to finalize nationality, so this is at least good news.
Luxembourg is on track to be 70% first vaccination by mid July and 70% fully vaccinated late August. If it follows the EU it'll be open any time now, if it follows more conservative places like Canada likely July.
My interpretation was based on this, which I assume proceeded this decision: https://gouvernement.lu/fr/actualites/toutes_actualites/communiques/2021/06-juin/24-conseil-gouvernement.html
If you have better information or an understanding that is much appreciate though

Helpful to know entry is related to residency and not citizenship. Thanks!
