What work and residence rights does Luxembourg long-term resident status give me?

Long-term resident status gives broad rights within Luxembourg. The permit takes the form of a biometric chip card valid for five years, and it carries authorisation to work across all sectors, without being tied to a single employer or occupation as some first work permits are.

The status is also an EU-wide status, which can make it easier to move to and reside in another EU member state compared with an ordinary national permit, subject to that country's own conditions. This combination of stable residence in Luxembourg and greater EU mobility is a major reason applicants pursue it.
