Moving to the Luxembourg: What You Need to Know

Moving to Luxembourg is a relatively straightforward process, especially for nationals of the EU, EEA, or Switzerland who do not need a visa or work permit. These individuals must simply register with the local municipality by obtaining a Registration Attestation, proving their financial self-sufficiency. Non-EU nationals, however, must apply for a Schengen visa for short stays (up to 90 days) unless they are from visa-exempt countries like the U.S., Canada, or Australia. Those planning to live and work in Luxembourg long-term must apply for both a residency and work permit through the nearest Luxembourg embassy or consulate.

Key Points:

  • EU/EEA/Swiss nationals don’t need a visa but must register locally.

  • Non-EU nationals need a Schengen or long-stay visa depending on purpose and duration.

  • Visa costs range from €40 to €80, depending on type and age.

Our visa consultants simplify the process, ensuring a hassle-free experience for expats moving to Luxembourg.

Housing Options for Expats in Luxembourg

Relocating to Luxembourg requires a residence visa for non-EU citizens, whether you're a student, professional, or self-employed. You'll need essential documents like passports, birth certificates, and proof of funds for your temporary residence permit, which also serves as your work and living permit. While public transportation (bus, rail, and cycling routes) is well-developed and affordable, housing in Luxembourg—especially in the capital—is expensive. Renting a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre costs around €1,600/month, and home purchases require a 20–25% down payment, with real estate prices ranging from €7,000 to €15,000 per m².

Quick Facts – Housing & Living Costs in Luxembourg:

  • Rent (1BR, city centre): ~€1,600/month

  • Utilities (85m² flat): ~€230/month

  • Mortgage down payment: 20–25% required
