Summary
Luxembourg naturalization is the ordinary citizenship route for adults who have already lived legally in Luxembourg for several years.
The basic story is residence plus integration. Most applicants need five years of lawful residence, with the last year uninterrupted, and they need to complete Luxembourg's language and civic-integration requirements.
Eligibility
You may be a fit if:
- You are at least 18.
- You are not already Luxembourgish.
- You have legally lived in Luxembourg for about five years.
- Your final year before applying was generally uninterrupted.
- You can meet the Luxembourgish language requirement.
- You complete the Living Together in Luxembourg civic course or test.
- You can satisfy the good-character and ordinary document requirements.
What This Route Allows
If approved, naturalization gives Luxembourgish citizenship. Luxembourg generally allows dual citizenship, although your other country of citizenship may have its own rules.
What This Route Is Not
This is not an entry route for moving to Luxembourg. It is mainly for people who already live there legally and are ready to turn a stable residence history into a citizenship application.
Next Steps
- Build a clear timeline of your legal residence in Luxembourg.
- Check whether any absence could affect the final uninterrupted-year rule.
- Prepare for the Luxembourgish language evaluation.
- Complete the Living Together in Luxembourg civic course or test.
- Gather civil-status, residence, background, and identity documents before filing.
