Can international students work and stay on after studying in Luxembourg?

International students on a Luxembourg student residence permit can do a limited amount of part-time work, which helps with living costs while you study at an accredited higher-education institution. The permit is granted on the basis of your admission, with proof of sufficient resources, a valid passport and health insurance, and the authorisation to stay applied for before entry where required.

The stay-on options are a genuine strength of the route. After graduating you may apply to remain in Luxembourg to seek employment or to set up a business, which can then lead into the salaried worker permit, the EU Blue Card, or the self-employed route.

Because the resources required and the permitted working arrangements can change, confirm the current rules with your institution and the official portal. ACME can help you map the journey from a student permit through to a work or self-employed route and, in time, toward EU long-term residence after five years of lawful residence.
