Family reunification in Luxembourg
Family reunification allows a person lawfully residing in Luxembourg to bring their spouse and minor children, subject to conditions of stable resources, suitable housing and health insurance. EU Blue Card holders benefit from facilitated conditions. The firm prepares and defends the file.
Family reunification is a regulated right: the quality of the file (resources, housing, civil status) determines the approval and the timeframes.
Cerno Law Firm secures the application, anticipates the sensitive documents (foreign civil status records) and acts in the event of a refusal.

An incomplete file delays or blocks the reunification.
How we help
