Settling in Luxembourg is not just about a residence permit: you must coordinate immigration, employment contract, housing, social affiliations and administrative formalities, often within tight deadlines tied to a start date.
Cerno Law Firm steers this entire settling in for the employee, the director and, where applicable, their family, coordinating the legal and administrative steps for a smooth relocation.
Relocation support in Luxembourg: when should you call on the firm?
You are relocating a director or an employee to Luxembourg, or settling there yourself.
Residence permit, contract, housing and administrative formalities must be coordinated within often tight deadlines.
What happens if you do nothing?
A start date delayed for lack of a permit, a non-compliant contract, forgotten arrival formalities, a family stuck.
A poorly coordinated settling in weakens the employment and exposes both employer and employee.
