Visa for self-employed people
"We found Luxembourg to be a very business-minded environment. The government is accessible and accommodating. It supports the diversification from the financial sector and considers ICT as an interesting sector. Luxembourg has all the advantages of an EU capital, but is also perceived as being independent, neutral and trustworthy. For our business, this is a significant benefit."
Kurt Kammerer, CEO Regify (trusted e-communications)
RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR SELF-EMPLOYED
Working in Luxembourg has its benefits as a multi-lingual portal to the EU.
Like most EU countries, working in Luxembourg as a non-European requires more effort, paper work and at times determination.
As a non-European, coming to Luxembourg for self-employment for longer than 90 days, you will need to have a residence permit.
Coming to Luxembourg with the idea to start your own business is possible for non-EU citizens.
However, there are certain rules and procedures a Non-EU Entrepreneur shall follow.
While there are permits easily granted through an employer, entrepreneurs can expect their country of origin, education and expertise to play a big part on whether working in Luxembourg is a realistic goal or not.
