Finding work in Luxembourg

 


Getting a job in Luxembourg can be a good option because the country has high salaries and many international companies. Here is a practical guide to help you 👇

1. Check If You Need a Work Visa

Your ability to work in Luxembourg depends on your citizenship.

  • EU/EEA citizens: Can work freely without a visa.

  • Non-EU citizens: Usually need a work permit and residence permit before starting a job.

Work permits are handled through the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.

2. Learn Languages Used in Luxembourg

Luxembourg has three official languages:

  • Luxembourgish

  • French

  • German

However, many companies (especially banks and tech firms) use English, particularly in international workplaces.

3. Use Luxembourg Job Websites

Most jobs are advertised online. Popular platforms include:

  • LinkedIn

  • Indeed

  • EURES

  • ADEM

You can search for jobs in finance, IT, administration, logistics, and hospitality.

4. Industries That Hire Many Foreign Workers

Luxembourg has a large international workforce. The sectors with many jobs include:

  • Banking and finance

  • Information technology (IT)

  • Logistics and transport

  • Construction

  • Hotels and restaurants

Many global companies have offices in Luxembourg City.

5. Prepare a European-Style CV

Most employers expect a Europass-style CV.

You can create one through Europass.

Tips:

  • Keep it 1–2 pages

  • Include languages you speak

  • List international experience

6. Apply Directly to International Companies

Luxembourg hosts many multinational companies and institutions, including:

  • Amazon

  • European Investment Bank

  • European Court of Justice

These organizations often hire international workers.

✅ Tip: Luxembourg has one of the highest minimum salaries in Europe, but the cost of living is also high.
