Living in Luxembourg
On a GDP per capita basis, Luxembourg is the richest country in the world. It is also the 6th smallest country and the 8th largest banking centre in the world. This little cocktail of statistics can give you a quick indication of what a fantastic little haven Luxembourg is.
Luxembourg offers a lot to its inhabitants, through its culturally diverse nature and geographic location perfectly situated in the centre of continental Europe, bordering France, Germany and Belgium. This small country perched in the centre of Europe, reaps all the benefits from its powerful neighbours.
In financial services companies bound by the banking convention, employees can enjoy 33.5 days holidays a year, in addition to the numerous bank holidays, competitive salaries, as well as an international, diverse and challenging working environment.

Work Permits
European Union nationals have free access to work and live in Luxembourg.
Non-European Union workers must obtain a work permit. The application is submitted by the employer (the hiring company) to the Employment Office (ADEM) before the employee starts his job and before his arrival in the location. The work permit is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after examination of the individual situation and an evaluation of the labour market.
