Hello everyone, welcome back to our blog , Can Visa Pathway. In today’s post, we are going to discuss how to find a job in the world’s richest country, Luxembourg. You can start earning a high salary of at least €4,000 per month in just 7 days. There’s no age limit, and you don’t need an agent or consultant to apply. No language test is required either. Europe has introduced a new Eva system, making it possible to get your visa in just 24 to 72 hours. The visa approval rate is high, and there’s less competition for jobs compared to other countries. Luxembourg is a fantastic country with many well-paying job opportunities. Luxembourg has a low population, so recently it has started giving work visas to people from outside Europe as well because Luxembourg needs more workers in both skilled and unskilled categories. Even if you’re new to the job market, you can apply for a visa. Getting a work visa for Luxembourg is easy with few requirements, and a lot of people get approved. In this post, I’ll cover everything about the visa process, the benefits of working in Luxembourg, how much money you will make, how long you can stay in Europe with this visa, the best-paying jobs right now and their average salaries. I’ll also talk about open positions in both skilled and unskilled jobs that make it simpler to find jobs. Most importantly, I will also discuss a few companies and websites which currently have vacancies for overseas candidates. Next, I will give you a live example on how to find jobs as per your skill set. Lastly, we will also discuss how to apply for a work permit and work visa, so make sure to read the whole post to get all the information.

Benefits of Working in Luxembourg
Working in Luxembourg comes with some fantastic benefits. First of all, the most important benefit is that Luxembourg has a very high visa acceptance rate, meaning if you get a job offer from an employer, there will be high chances of getting a Luxembourg work visa. Once you submit your visa application, it will take 7 to 15 days to get the Luxembourg visa. Secondly, there’s less competition for jobs compared to other European countries, and many people in Luxembourg speak English, especially in business and expat communities, so you won’t have trouble with language.
The next benefit is that you can bring your spouse with you when you move to Luxembourg, and your spouse will be allowed to work as well. Luxembourg is the richest country globally, which means it has top-notch infrastructure and facilities. Workers in Luxembourg get paid really well, around €4,000 a month for regular jobs, which is around €48,000 annually. But if you have a high-skilled job, you will make over €100,000 annually. If you have an unskilled job in Luxembourg, you will still make a minimum of €2,500 to €3,000 every month. Luxembourg is part of the Schengen Area, which is a union of 26 European countries. This means if you have a visitor or work visa for any of these 26 countries, you can travel to all 26 countries in the Schengen Area for free.
Taxes in Luxembourg
You might wonder how much tax you will pay if you work in Luxembourg. Open your Google browser and search for “Luxembourg tax calculator,” and click on the link. Here, you can enter your annual income. For example, if you enter €48,000, you will see that you will pay around 25% in taxes of your total income.

How to Apply for a Work Permit
The first step is to find an employer who can provide you with a job offer. After that, your employer will need to get a certificate of the right to hire a third-country national from the National Employment Agency. Once this certificate is obtained, your employer will submit your application to the Immigration Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.
The whole process can take a maximum of 3 months, but if your job category falls under labor shortage, the process can be quicker.
Documents Required for Work Permit Application
- Copy of valid passport
- CV
- Proof of qualification
- Other documents as listed by the authorities
Once your employer gets approval for your work permit, you will need to apply for a visa in your home country. After submitting your visa application and paying the visa fees, you should get your visa approval in 7 to 15 days. You can also extend your work visa for up to 5 years.
This is a golden opportunity for people looking to settle in Europe!
