People who want to immigrate to Luxembourg from Australia can take usual routes that imply business and employment or special programs. The choice should be made in accordance with considering specific matters, such as the reason for relocation.
 
Below, our immigration lawyers in Luxembourg present the main options you have if you decide to move here from Australia. No matter the pathway you decide for, you can rely on our relocation services.
 

Residence options for long-term stays

 
Those who decide to move to Luxembourg from Australia for more than 3 months must apply for a national or long-term D visa. However, before applying for this visa, one must first apply for temporary authorization to stay in Luxembourg.

The application for the national visa can be filed with one of the two Luxembourg consulates in Australia (New South Wales or Victoria). The type of residence permit you require is determined by your reason for relocation. Once you have received the long-stay visa, you can relocate to Luxembourg from Australia and apply for a temporary residence permit.

  • business;
  • employment;

How to immigrate to Luxembourg from Australia based on employment

 
 
Australian citizens who want to relocate to Luxembourg for employment must apply for a work visa. Before submitting the work visa application, one must have a job offer from a Luxembourg company as well as an employment contract. The employer must register the job post with the National Employment Agency to demonstrate that they are permitted to hire foreign people.

Highly skilled individuals who want to move to Luxembourg from Australia may apply for the EU Blue Card. To be eligible for an EU Blue Card, one must meet certain conditions, including the minimum yearly wage specified in your work contract.
 
The work visa has a one-year validity and can be extended for an additional 3 years.
