Why Luxembourg
Why immigrate to Luxembourg?
Luxembourg is one of Europe’s wealthiest countries and a major financial centre. Its small size belies its economic strength, with opportunities in finance, technology and several European institutions based in the country.
Most non-EU professionals need a residence permit for salaried workers or, for highly qualified roles, an EU Blue Card. Work routes usually involve the national employment agency (ADEM) and the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.
