Being Europe’s most powerful investment management center and spanning less than 1000 square miles in total, The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of Europe’s hidden gems. With an existence often unknown to most, the landlocked nation has Belgium, Germany and France as its neighbors.

Apart from the capital city, Luxembourg is home to some of the best views and hiking routes in the world, an ideal location and underrated, delicious food. What’s not to love?

The Process
Before any formal process can begin, it’s important for each applicant to display the intention to live and reside permanently in Luxembourg. After this, applicants can expect background checks to be completed and, upon passing, can submit their applications for Luxembourg’s residency by investment program to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Following approval, the applicant will receive a Category D Visa.
After being authorized to move to Luxembourg, the visa holder must complete the following:
- Travel to Luxembourg within 90 days of authorization
- Go through a medical check
- Register with their commune of residence within 3 days of arriving in the country
After this complex process, the applicant can finally exhale and enjoy their new life in Luxembourg. The visa can be renewed after three years if the applicant spends more than half the year in the country. After 5 continuous years in Luxembourg, the applicant is able to receive Luxembourgian citizenship.
