Luxembourg Residence by Investment

Luxembourg is a lesser-known European country, but with its safe environment and good living standards, it is definitely one of the best locations to live on the continent. It is one of Europe’s wealthiest countries and is well-known as a financial center. Luxembourg is a small country sandwiched between Belgium, France, and Germany, but it speaks German, French, and English. In Luxembourg, there are a few options for obtaining residency. The first is the Private Reason path, which is for people who have demonstrated that they have the financial means to live in Luxembourg but will not be working there. This route grants you a one-year residency visa.

Since late 2017, a new path has been available: the immigrant investor programme. This residency-by-investment scheme provides investors with a three- to five-year residency permit. Applicants are eligible to apply for permanent residency and naturalisation as Luxembourg citizens after 5 years.
