How does Student Residence Permit work in Luxembourg, and who qualifies?

Luxembourg grants student residence permits to international students accepted onto a programme at an accredited higher-education institution. Alongside your admission, you will normally need to show sufficient resources for the duration of your studies, hold a valid passport and health insurance, and, where required, apply for the authorisation to stay before entering the country.

The permit allows a limited amount of part-time work so you can support yourself, and graduates may apply to stay on to look for employment or to set up a business, which can lead into the country's work or self-employed routes.

A EUR 80 residence permit fee applies and decisions normally come within about three months. Because the resources required and the permitted working arrangements can change, it is worth confirming the current details with your institution and the official portal. ACME can help you understand the financial and insurance evidence expected and plan your path from study toward longer-term residence.
