The status comes as a 5-year chip-card permit with authorisation to work in all sectors, and it provides a basis to move and reside in other EU member states under EU rules.
Yes. The status can be withdrawn after 12 months of absence from EU territory (24 months for former EU Blue Card holders) or after 6 years of absence from Luxembourg; absences over 6 months also require declaring departure and returning the permit.
You apply online via MyGuichet.lu or by post to the General Department of Immigration; the ministry must respond within a maximum of 6 months, and a receipt can serve as temporary authorisation in Luxembourg if your previous permit expires during processing.
Seasonal workers, intra-corporate transferred (ICT) workers, students and vocational trainees, and holders of limited temporary permits cannot use that time to obtain EU long-term resident status.
You need 5 years of continuous lawful stay in Luxembourg; absences of under 6 consecutive months (and no more than 10 months in total over the 5 years) generally do not break continuity.
After five years of continuous lawful residence, third-country nationals can apply for EU long-term resident status in Luxembourg. It requires stable resources, health insurance and any applicable integration conditions.
You must show stable, regular and sufficient resources without relying on social welfare (REVIS), suitable housing, health insurance for you and dependents, a clean criminal record, and evidence of integration.
