A high single national threshold for gross annual salary, with no separate reduced rate for shortage occupations any more.
Luxembourg's EU Blue Card is aimed at highly qualified employees and has no labour-market test, but it sets a high salary bar. Luxembourg now applies a single national threshold across all sectors — the former lower rate for shortage occupations was abolished. The threshold is indexed and revised periodically, so always confirm the current figure on guichet.public.lu before relying on it. You also need a higher-education diploma or at least five years of relevant specialised experience, and an employment contract of at least six months.
