To apply for a Work Visa in Luxembourg, applicants must first secure a valid job offer from a Luxembourg-based employer. Once the job offer is confirmed, the employer typically applies for a work permit on behalf of the applicant through the Immigration Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. After the work permit is approved, the applicant can apply for a Type D (long-stay) visa at the Luxembourg Embassy or Consulate in their home country. Required documents usually include a valid passport, job contract, proof of qualifications, medical certificate, and police clearance. Once in Luxembourg, the applicant must register their residence and apply for a residence permit within 3 working days of arrival. Work visas are generally valid for one to two years and can be renewed if employment continues.

Luxembourg offers several types of visas depending on the purpose of travel. The main categories include the Short-Stay Visa (Type C), which allows visitors to stay up to 90 days for tourism, business, or family visits within the Schengen Area; and the Long-Stay Visa (Type D), issued for stays longer than 90 days. The Long-Stay Visa includes different purposes such as the Work Visa for those with a job offer from a Luxembourg company, the Study Visa for international students accepted by a Luxembourg university, and the Family Reunification Visa for family members joining residents or citizens of Luxembourg. There is also a Business or Investor Visa for entrepreneurs starting or managing a business in the country, and a Research Visa for scientists or academics engaged in research projects. Each visa type has specific requirements, but all applicants must provide valid documents, proof of purpose, and evidence of financial stability.
