As of 1 September 2023, significant changes have been made to the work authorisation for third-country nationals holding ‘family member’ residence permits in Luxembourg. Before this date, these permit holders needed special permission to work in Luxembourg.
Now, all holders of ‘family member’ residence permits can freely access the Luxembourg labour market. Any previous restrictions on employment noted on their permits are no longer valid, regardless of what was originally stated.
It’s important to note that there are no plans to issue new permits because of this change. Existing residence permits will stay valid until they expire. The only change is that any employment restrictions noted on these permits have been invalid since 1 September 2023.
