Overstaying in Luxembourg: fine, entry ban and enforcement
This is what Luxembourg's own national law adds on top of the EU-wide entry-ban mechanism — every Schengen country runs that same baseline process, explained on the general overstay-penalties page, but the fine amount and exact enforcement style are set by each country individually.
Fine
No specific fine amount was found for Luxembourg in this pass — the law's Chapter 7 ("Sanctions") addresses irregular entry/stay, but a fixed monetary figure wasn't located
Entry ban
5 years, confirmed via a real published case (the Minister of Home Affairs ordering immediate departure plus a 5-year entry ban), citing Arts. 100 and 109–115
How it's enforced in practice
Legal basis is the loi modifiée du 29 août 2008 sur la libre circulation des personnes et l'immigration. The consolidated text is hosted on Luxembourg's own official legislative portal (Legilux); the specific article numbers and the 5-year figure come from a secondary case summary citing the law, not a direct read of Arts. 100/109–115 themselves.
