About Luxembourg - the World's richest country

Luxembourg is one of Europe’s least populous countries, but the residents here take pleasure in the world’s highest GDP per capita. This European country has a highly developed economy, vibrant financial sector and is also known as the home to numerous EU institutions, making it a popular destination for overseas jobs.

Overseas job seekers who wish to work in Luxembourg must have an “Authorization to stay” document and a residence permit.

Business employers in Luxembourg must prove that they have advertised their job vacancies locally and yet haven't found a suitable applicant, if they wish to hire a non-EU citizen. Therefore, you must also have a certificate from your employer to get a work visa, certifying that they have met this requirement where the certificate is provided by the National Administration of Jobs, which then should be handed over to you by your employer.

Step-3: Fill in the declaration form

You must declare first to confirm that you wish to reside in the area in question. The procedure is handled on a regional basis while in Luxembourg, so you will need to pursue your application in the area where you plan to live and work. Depending on your home country, you may also have to undergo medical tests.

Step-4: Submit your application

Finally, your formal application for a permit to live and work in Luxembourg must be submitted. Obtaining a work visa for Luxembourg offers you a wide variety of visa forms defined by the type of job you will do and the essence of your transfer there.

Bottom-line

Generally, in the first case, work permits for Luxembourg will be given for two years. You can reapply if you wish to remain past that point, starting at least two months before your initial visa runs out.

The reissued visa could be issued for up to three more years. Visas are usually initially issued for only one sector, but this restriction may be lifted if you have kept a visa for more than a year or two.

You must also obtain a long-stay residence permit once you have obtained your temporary residence permit and have entered Luxembourg.

In this situation, along with evidence of your accommodation and a fee of about 80 Euros, you must present the temporary permit. There may be discrepancies as the procedure is conducted regionally, so check what documents are necessary before visiting the local administration office.
