Can I get a Luxembourg investor residence permit by buying real estate?

A common misconception is that buying property is a shortcut to residence in Luxembourg. It is not. The investor permit scheme specifically does not count real estate purchases as a qualifying investment.

Instead you must invest through one of the recognised channels: an existing company, a new job-creating business, a qualifying management or investment structure, or a large deposit with a financial institution. The beneficial owner of the investment must be the investor, their spouse or registered partner. If property is part of your plans, treat it as separate from your residence application, not as the basis for it.
