Immigration & mobility
EU Blue Card in Luxembourg
The EU Blue Card is the residence permit for highly qualified workers in Luxembourg. It requires a qualified employment contract, a higher education degree (or equivalent experience) and a salary that reaches the statutory threshold. It opens rights to family reunification and to mobility within the EU. The firm prepares your file.
The Blue Card is the preferred route for qualified profiles recruited in Luxembourg: it is more advantageous than an ordinary work permit when it comes to family and European mobility.
The key issue is the accuracy of the file (degree, contract, salary threshold). Cerno Law Firm checks eligibility and files the application.
