Citizens of the European Union (EU) (http://europa.eu.int/) plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are free to live and work in Luxembourg. You must however, apply for a residence permit which is valid for five years and should be issued within six months of your arrival. The card is issued by the Ministry of Justice Luxembourg (http://www.mae.lu) .
Students coming from other EU countries need to register in the commune where they intend to stay.
With the recent enlargement of the EU, some of the policies that are in place for pre-2004 EU member states may not yet be applicable to citizens of some new EU member states. On 1 May 2004, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia joined the EU. If you are from one of these countries, excepting Cyprus and Malta, and want to work in Luxembourg, some restrictions on work permits may apply for a period of up to seven years. You should contact the Luxembourg Embassy in your country to see if any restrictions apply.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg has produced a guide to working in

Luxembourg which includes advice on work and residence permits, the social security system and taxation.
More information is also available from the Ministere des Affaires Etrangeres (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

Schengen Visa Information
On 26 March 1996, the Schengen Agreement entered into force which removed internal border controls between the signatory states of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. Subsequently Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Norway and Sweden joined the aforementioned countries. These fifteen countries make up an area without borders, also known as the Schengen area. Border control for entry into the Schengen area is carried out on the external borders of these countries.
Communal laws, for example in terms of visas and external border controls, have been adopted in order to allow the free circulation of people within the Schengen area. This means that a visa issued by one of these states also enables the holder to move freely within the other states whilst the visa is valid. This visa is commonly known as the “Schengen visa” as it is named after a small Luxembourg village on the river Moselle on the Franco-German border where the Schengen agreements were signed.
The Schengen visa is a short stay visa (maximum stay of three months within a six month period) for business, tourist visits, family visits etc.
There are three types of Schengen Visa
Type A: Visa de transit aéroportuaire (Airport transit visa)
This visa constitutes an exception to the general rule allowing transit without a visa in the international zone of airport transit. The visa does not allow access to the Schengen territory.
Type B: Visa de transit (Transit visa)
This visa allows the holder to pass through one or more Schengen states in order to get to another state. The necessary duration for this transit cannot exceed 5 days.
Type C: Visa de court séjour (Short stay visa)
This visa allows entry into the Schengen territory for a maximum uninterrupted stay of 90 days over a period of six months. The visa can be issued for single or multiple entry. In the event of multiple entries, the total duration of the different stays spent in the Schengen area cannot exceed 90 days over a period of six months. The maximum validity of a visa during which authorised visits can be made is one year.
Visas A, B, C can also be affixed to a collective passport for a homogenous group of between 5 people and 50 people for a journey not exceeding thirty days. A homogenous group is understood to mean a group of people sharing common interests e.g.: sports teams, cultural organisations, opera orchestras, youth associations etc. The collective passport must be issued by a competent administrative authority in the country in which the members of the group reside. The collective passport must include the name of the person in charge of the group.
Applications for a Schengen visa should be made to the Embassy or Consulate of the country which is the principal destination of the visit.

How to obtain a Schengen Visa
Visa applications should be made in person at a Luxembourg diplomatic or consular mission or diplomatic or consular mission of a member state signed up to the Schengen agreement which issues visas on behalf of Luxembourg in the applicant’s home country.
Two copies of a visa application form should be filled in.
The following documents should be provided in support of the application:

• two recent passport photos
• a valid passport or a travel permit recognised by the Schengen countries whose validity is at least three months longer than the validity of the visa applied for
• Written proof relating to the reason for the journey such as:
  • official invitation letter for a business trip
  • certified copy of an accommodation certificate of the reference person in Luxembourg
  • hotel reservation
  • return aeroplane ticket
  • proof of sufficient means of subsistence (bank statements, cash, credit cards etc.)
  • proof of legal residence in the usual country of residence
  • health or travel insurance is required

- Other written proof relating to the reason for the visit may be required.
