LUXEMBOURG: PROCESS

We will then take the reins and outline the comprehensive roadmap, detailing the necessary documents you’ll need to provide to assemble your application file. Rest assured, we’ll be on hand to address any queries you may have about your path to Luxembourgish citizenship.
Once your application file is meticulously prepared, we will diligently submit it to the pertinent immigration authorities in Luxembourg.

Upon successful approval, a transformative moment will arrive. A formal naturalisation ceremony will mark your transition into a Luxembourgish citizen. Alongside this momentous event, you’ll be bestowed with a Luxembourgish national identity card and a Luxembourgish passport, symbols of your newfound citizenship. It’s important to note that any unmarried dependents under the age of 18 will also gain Luxembourgish citizenship if they reside with you, attend school in Luxembourg, and are included in the naturalisation decree.
Your journey to becoming a Luxembourgish citizen is supported by our dedicated team, ensuring you’re fully equipped to embrace this next chapter of your life.
