Luxembourg Investment Immigration Programs Overview.
Luxembourg grants residence permits to investors if certain criteria are met. The requirements include the option of investing at least 500,000 euros in an existing company with its registered office in the country, with a commitment of at least five years; or investing 500,000 euros in a newly created company with its head office registered in Luxembourg and having a commitment to create at least five jobs, within three years of the established company. The project or proof of investment needs an approval of the Ministry of Economy.
Other options include investing at least 3 million euros in a new or existing investment and management structure with a head office registered in Luxembourg and locally maintaining an appropriate structure; or investing at least 20 million euros as a deposit in a Luxembourg financial institution and maintaining the investment for a minimum of five years. The eligibility requirements exclude real estate investments. The project or proof of investment needs an approval of the Ministry of Finance.
The residence permit is issued for an initial period of three years and is renewable for three years and includes spouse and children. The ministry processes applications within couple of months. Exceptions can be made for third country nationals who already have a long-term residence permit in another EU member state and authorization to stay as an investor in Luxembourg, before entering the Luxembourg territory. The third-country national can request a long-term residence permit, valid for five years.
