Luxembourg is experiencing significant skill shortages across various sectors, creating numerous opportunities for foreign skilled workers to gain employment and secure work visas.
As of January 2023, the labour market in Luxembourg included around 67,000 non-EU expatriates which indicates that the country is open to hiring foreign skilled workers from even countries like Nigeria.
Between 2000 and 2023, employment figures surged by over 90%, with approximately 75% of the workforce comprising immigrant or cross-border workers. Furthermore, about one in ten individuals is employed in the banking and insurance sector, and Luxembourg offers some of the highest salaries in Europe.
The process begins with securing a job in the country, which can be accomplished through job market platforms such as Moovijob.com, and Jobs. Lu, LinkedIn, or through recruitment agencies specialising in international placements.
Once a position is obtained, successful applicants will receive a Type D work visa. Subsequently, all necessary documentation can be submitted to the Luxembourg embassy, allowing for family unification to be applied for.
