What are the qualifying investment options and minimum amounts for the Luxembourg investor permit?

Luxembourg's investor residence permit recognises four distinct qualifying investments. You can invest at least EUR 500,000 in an existing Luxembourg company while committing to maintain the investment and employment levels for five years, or invest at least EUR 500,000 to create a new business that generates at least five jobs within three years.

The other two options are larger: at least EUR 3 million invested in a management or investment structure with appropriate economic substance, or a deposit of at least EUR 20 million held with a Luxembourg financial institution for a minimum of five years. The investment must be approved by the relevant minister before the permit is issued. These thresholds are set by law, so verify the current figures on the official source before committing.
