What documents do I need and where do I apply for the Luxembourg investor permit?

The application is filed before entry, from your country of origin, with the General Department of Immigration at the Ministry of Home Affairs (or via a Luxembourg diplomatic or consular mission). A crucial first step is obtaining ministerial approval of the investment itself: the Minister of the Economy assesses the EUR 500,000 business investments, while the Minister of Finance assesses the larger investment structures and deposits.

The standard documents include a complete copy of your valid passport, an extract from your criminal record or a sworn declaration, proof of suitable accommodation, and payment of the EUR 80 fee. Biometric data, including a photograph and fingerprints, is collected once the application is approved. If a visa is required for your nationality, you apply for a Type D visa after receiving the authorisation to stay.
