Working in European countries for non-EU citizens

If you are not an EU/EEA or Swiss citizen, you need an authorisation to stay before you enter Luxembourg, and you must declare your arrival to the municipality within 3 days. The main routes:

• After studies in Luxembourg: with a master’s degree or equivalent you can get a residence permit for 9 months to look for a job or set up a business.
• EU Blue Card (highly qualified worker): you need the required professional qualifications, a contract of at least 6 months and a salary of at least the amount set by grand-ducal regulation – check the current figure on guichet.lu.
• Salaried worker: a residence permit for other jobs, applied for before you come to Luxembourg.

All routes are explained on the government portal guichet.lu – third-country nationals.
