The Grand Duchy of Van Luxemburg: Embassy Programme
OPEN ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Sirs, Madams,
The Grand Duchy of Van Luxemburg is a nation that tries to uphold it’s diplomatic contacts, and indeed encourages the establishment of foreign embassies in it’s capital city, Luxembourg. As one may know, Luxembourg is the city of palaces and villas, and therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has acquired quite a few prestigious properties that will serve as embassies for foreign nations.
We take the utmost of care in providing you the best embassy building possible, and we, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will always stand by your side to fulfil the embassy and the ambassadors’ needs. While we hope that embassies can operate independently after a few months, the first months after arrival in Van Luxemburg you will be completely assisted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if requested, to ensure the integration in Van Luxemburger society will go smoothly.
In Van Luxemburg, embassy security will mostly be the task of the security forces present in Luxembourg. This means that we would like to keep the amount of foreign armed troops low. We ask you to understand that the Van Luxemburger security forces will provide more than sufficient security: this security level can even be upscaled, if necessary.
Please note that Van Luxemburg is an exceptional nation in terms of cars: This is why the controls and checks on automobiles and other road-going vehicles will be very strict, mainly due to the high speeds that are often achieved on the nations’ network of Autobahns. We urge you to make use of the annual FTS vehicle inspections, to make sure your vehicle is in tiptop condition. We would also like to ask you to at least be familiar with Van Luxemburger traffic laws and customs: they might differ from your own nation.
We encourage cultural events taking place in our nation, and Van Luxemburg (and it’s industry) is always interested in engaging in trade talks. We ask you to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs if you want to start these talks, or want to organise a cultural event.
If you ever need something: do not hesitate to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at 11 188 32761, before dialling 6 to contact the Foreign Embassy desk. Or, one could pay a visit to the Diplomatic Services building, on the Rue Charles Corbeau.
Signed,
Jens Blom
Minister of Foreign Affairs

[2] If you are sending a Military Attaché, please include rank.
[3] The maximum amount of staff is 200.
[4] The maximum amount of guards allowed is 15, and will only be allowed to carry pistols and/or ceremonial weapons. Security is the task of the Luxembourg Kommunalpolizei, the Marechaussee and the IVD.
[5] If your embassy requires extra security measures (extra guarding troops) this can be arranged. Please fill in 'Yes' or 'No'.
[6] A maximum of 2 air vehicles (be they helicopters or aircraft) is enforced. All air vehicles will need to be stored at Luxembourg-Findel Intl. Airport, 30 km from the city center. Storing helicopters at the embassy is not possible due to flight regulations in Luxembourg.
[7] There is no maximum for motor vehicles on diplomatic plates, but there is a limit to the amount of parking space available: a maximum of 30 parking spots can be given out at one time. Other vehicles will need to be stored at local car parks. Please note that armed vehicles are not allowed: armoured vehicles are. We also wish to point out that hybrid-powered vehicles are not favoured by the Van Luxemburger population, and the Luxembourg Kommunalpolizei already recorded several acts of vandalism against these vehicles. Stretched limousines may pose a problem in some of the narrow and busy city streets of Luxembourg. If you require or wish to buy local vehicles, please leave this field blank (or state so), as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs then will make an offer for you.
[8] If you have any special requirements, please declare them here.
[9] Please state the preferred address for your embassy. The buildings available can be seen in a list below.
-------------------------------------------------
We hope this form will help you out in filing your embassy in Van Luxemburg.
Please bear in mind the following:
- Van Luxemburger Police will not pull over vehicles with diplomatic license plates. Only in case of serious violations, the police will try to stop you in a polite manner. Fines will be sent to the embassy, and will need to be paid within 2 months.
- Van Luxemburg cannot and will not force diplomats out of the nation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reserves the right to request for removal from Van Luxemburg at your Government.
- Several rare or unknown vehicles don’t have a road allowance from the FTS. They will need to go through an extensive testing programme before allowance, total costs 1500 USD for every unknown model (never been on VL roads before), or 100 USD for every known model (Been on VL roads before). These costs will be covered by the Van Luxemburger Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Security of the embassy is the task of the Van Luxemburger Government. Law Enforcement Agencies (Police, Marechaussee, IVD) will guard the embassy. The amount of guards is defined by the National Defence Condition of both Van Luxemburg and the Government owning the embassy.
- Guards at the Embassy only play a ceremonial and a slight guarding role. It is illegal to have automatic firearms, Rocket propelled grenades, Mines, bombs, boobytraps, or any other heavy weaponry on the embassy lot.
- Diplomats will have diplomatic immunity. This can only be voided by an agreement between Van Luxemburg and the nation in question.
- Van Luxemburg encourages state visits and cultural events from your nation. Therefore, Van Luxemburg wishes to pay up to $2 million for a Cultural Event taking place at the embassy grounds or another location within the nation, and up to $50 million for a state visit.
- As stated before, the Luxembourg police has already recorded several acts of vandalism against hybrid-powered vehicles, thus we do not recommend them to be taken into town (and advise you to not take them to Van Luxemburg in the first place)
- Stretch Limousines may pose a problem in some of the narrow and crowded city streets of Luxembourg.
Signed,
Jens Blom,
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
