Spouses/partners and minor children of a third-country national lawfully resident in Luxembourg.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
As a general rule the sponsor must have lawfully resided in Luxembourg for at least 12 months before applying, though exceptions apply to EU Blue Card holders and parents with sole custody of minor children.
After three years of legal residence in Luxembourg, family members may apply for a residence permit in their own right, independent of the sponsor.
Family reunification lets the spouse, partner and minor children of a third-country national lawfully residing in Luxembourg join them. The sponsor must usually show stable resources, suitable accommodation and health insurance.
Yes. Family members admitted through reunification may carry out salaried or self-employed work in Luxembourg without needing a separate work authorisation.
You must show stable, regular and sufficient resources (broadly at the level of the minimum wage for unskilled workers over 12 months), suitable accommodation that meets health and safety standards, and health insurance covering all family members.
Before the family member travels, the sponsor applies for a temporary authorisation to stay (response within a maximum of 9 months); after arrival the family member declares their arrival at the commune within 3 days, has a medical exam, and applies for the residence permit within 3 months.
You can generally bring your spouse or registered partner (aged 18 or over) and your unmarried minor children; dependent parents and dependent adult children may qualify on a discretionary basis if you have resided 12+ months.
