Summary
Luxembourg's investor residence route is for third-country nationals making substantial qualifying investments. The route covers four official tracks: investment in an existing Luxembourg company, creation of a new Luxembourg company, investment in a management and investment structure, or a large Luxembourg bank deposit.
Real estate investment alone does not qualify. The investment project or proof must be approved by the competent Luxembourg minister before the immigration application moves forward.
Eligibility
- You can make a qualifying investment in one of the official categories:
- at least €500,000 in an existing Luxembourg company, keeping both the investment and the existing employment level for 5 years
- at least €500,000 in a new Luxembourg company that creates at least 5 jobs within 3 years, with recruitment coordinated with ADEM
- at least €3 million in a Luxembourg management and investment structure with real local substance
- at least €20 million deposited with a Luxembourg financial institution for at least 5 years
- The investment is not merely a real estate purchase
- You can document lawful source and ownership of funds
- The Minister of the Economy or Minister of Finance approves the investment project or proof
- You apply for temporary authorization to stay before entering Luxembourg, unless an exception applies, and can provide the required passport, criminal-record or affidavit, and power-of-attorney documents
What This Route Allows
This route can allow you to live in Luxembourg through the qualifying investment, business, or self-employment basis described above. The proof package should be concrete before filing: accepted investment or business activity, lawful source-of-funds records, corporate, property, or bank documents where relevant, background checks, and the government forms for this pathway.
What This Route Is Not
This is not a guaranteed approval just because money is available. Investment routes usually require due diligence, source-of-funds proof, and careful review of the exact investment rules.
Key Documents
- Passport
- Investment project or proof of investment
- Source-of-funds records
- Approval from the competent minister
- Criminal-record certificate or affidavit
- Business documents, where relevant
Next Steps
- Identify the qualifying investment category.
- Confirm the investment is not excluded real estate investment.
- Prepare source-of-funds and ownership records.
- Seek approval from the competent minister.
- Apply for authorization to stay after investment approval.
