Immigration & mobility
Immigration lawyer in Luxembourg
To settle, work or bring your family to Luxembourg, you need the right residence permit and a complete file. The firm assists skilled employees, investors and families: EU Blue Card, work permit, family reunification, investor residence and naturalisation.
Luxembourg immigration relies on precise procedures and deadlines that must be met: an incomplete or late file leads to a refusal or to costly delays.
Cerno Law Firm secures every step, from eligibility to filing, and steps in where there is a refusal or an appeal.

Some procedures are bound by strict deadlines.
How we help
