Luxembourg Opens Doors to Long-Term Residency

Luxembourg continues to attract global interest as a place to live, work, and settle long-term, and recent coverage highlights the possibility of Indians applying for permanent residency status in the country. This interest comes as more people consider relocating to European nations for better career and lifestyle opportunities. 

Under Luxembourg’s immigration rules, third-country nationals (including Indians) may apply for a long-term residence permit after living legally and continuously in the country for at least five years. Once granted, permanent residence allows holders to live and work in Luxembourg indefinitely without needing to renew short-term visas. 

To be eligible, applicants must have maintained lawful residence for the full period, with allowed absences under specific limits, and submit their application to the country’s immigration authorities. These rules apply equally to all third-country nationals who meet the criteria. 

Although some countries in Europe offer fast-track or investment-linked residency programs, Luxembourg’s main pathway remains tied to long-term stay and integration. There are also options like residence-by-investment programs where wealthy applicants can gain residence through economic contributions, though these typically require significant investment. 

For Indians interested in settling in Europe, understanding Luxembourg’s requirements now can help plan long-term relocation strategies, whether through work, study, or business pathways.
