When you arrive
- Declaration of arrival: EU citizens declare their arrival at the municipal administration (commune) where they will live, within the first days, and register if they stay more than three months. Deadlines and documents on Guichet.lu.
- Social security: the employer registers you with the Joint Social Security Centre (CCSS), which gives access to health insurance.
Living there or next door
- Housing is among the most expensive in Europe. Many people live in France, Belgium or Germany and cross the border every day: cross-border workers follow different tax and social security rules. Check on Guichet.lu.
- French, German and Luxembourgish are official languages; tech teams use English a lot.
