The “digital nomad visa” has become increasingly popular worldwide, allowing remote workers and freelancers to live abroad while working online. With its stable economy and central European location, Luxembourg might seem like an attractive destination. But does it currently offer such a visa?
Current Status: No Dedicated Digital Nomad Visa
At present, Luxembourg does not have a visa specifically designed for digital nomads. While many countries have introduced this type of permit, Luxembourg has not yet created a dedicated framework for remote workers who wish to live there temporarily.
Options for Non-EU Citizens
Even though there isn’t a digital nomad visa, there are other possible pathways for those interested in staying in Luxembourg:
• Residence Permits Based on Employment or Self-Employment?Non-EU nationals may qualify for a residence permit if they are employed by a Luxembourg-based company, set up a business, or meet requirements for self-employment.
• Short-Stay / Schengen Visa?This allows entry for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, it is intended for tourism or business visits, not long-term remote work.
• Other Residence Grounds?Depending on personal circumstances, some individuals may qualify under family reunion, investment, or other categories.
EU/EEA Citizens
Nationals from EU or EEA countries enjoy freedom of movement, which allows them to live and work in Luxembourg without applying for a separate visa. For digital nomads holding EU citizenship, relocating to Luxembourg is therefore much simpler.
Key Considerations for Remote Workers
• Tax Residency: Living and working remotely from Luxembourg could make you liable for local taxes.
• Legal Compliance: Using a tourist visa for ongoing remote work can lead to immigration issues.
• Future Policy Changes: While Luxembourg doesn’t currently have a digital nomad visa, this could change as more countries adopt similar programs.
Conclusion
• Luxembourg does not currently offer a dedicated digital nomad visa.
• EU/EEA citizens can live and work freely in the country.
• Non-EU nationals must rely on standard residence permits such as employment or self-employment visas.
• Anyone considering remote work in Luxembourg should carefully review tax and immigration rules before making the move.
