Can I stay in Luxembourg to work after I finish my studies?

Luxembourg allows successful graduates to transition from student status into work. After completing your university cycle you may apply for a residence permit as a salaried worker or as a self-employed worker, and you can start this even before your student permit expires.

For employment, you generally provide a job offer or contract and the related employment-agency documentation; for self-employment you submit a business plan and proof of resources. A simplified procedure exists where the job is directly related to the studies you completed, which can ease the move from graduate to worker.
