You keep your U.S. citizenship.

Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Do you have a binding job offer in that country?

Not legal advice.

What it takes.

Time: The national authority’s current processing time depends on the country and the application file.
Cost: Government fees and any employer or adviser costs vary by country; check the issuing authority before paying.
The hard part: Proving the job, salary and recognized qualifications meet the issuing country’s current rules.

Citizens by 2033.

If your first permit is issued in 2027 and you keep living there, this is the road.

2027
First residence permit
2 years, renewable for 2 years at a time.
2029
Renew the permit
Filed before the old one lapses; renews for 2 years.
2031
Renew the permit

2032
Apply for citizenship
With a language test and a civics test.
2033
Citizenship
The decision usually takes 8 months.

Language: Luxembourgish: the Sproochentest, A2 in speaking and B1 in listening, €75.
Civics: The ‘Vivre ensemble au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg’ course (rights, institutions, history) or its test.
Time away: 5 years of legal residence, with the final year before applying unbroken.
Two passports: Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.

Lawful residence on this status builds the ordinary residence clock while the permit remains valid.

The law behind these dates

Living there.

Time you must spend there: The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax: Working and living in the country can create tax obligations; the permit itself is not a tax ruling.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
