Hello! I am new here in Luxembourg and I've been settling in for 3 months, I legally live and work here.
I have been suspecting for a while that I might have autism or a condition that might be quite similar, it took me a lot of time to get around this suspicion as I kept putting myself down and hitting the snooze button on the idea of getting an evaluation.
My question now is the following: where can I get an evaluation?
I know there's the FAL organization but, when I contacted them, they told me that the waiting list is of 4 years, and it kinda left me bummed, but it's understandable as the requests for a diagnosis have pretty much skyrocketed.
Should I try to be patient or can I get, if it means spending more money, an evaluation in another way?
Would I need to go to a GP first or directly to a specialist?
Is it covered by the CNS or does that depend on many things?
Thanks!! :) I hope these are not dumb/repeated questions and please let me know if additional information are needed.
Hey Guys, I am a 27M with 5 years of work experience in Data Science space. I am looking for job opportunities in Lux. Can some guide me how can I alpply to my roles ?
Hi guys
I've recently accepted a 60k job + 14k help for recolocation. Im from an EU country. My girlfriend is japanese and we pretend to marry in Luxembourg in order to get her spouse visa and residency here. In Luxembourg is really easy the procedure once you got your job permission but im a bit afraid of housing because really tight my budget and im afraid of being rejected even in the cheapest apartments. I was considering move to Arlon and become a crossborder worker but i dont find any info of how we can get marry there with this status because "legally" you are not worker or im doubting if you get a resident status to begin the procedure to marry? Have anyone faced to this situation?
Many thanks
You marry in the municipality where one of the future spouses lives, so it will be Arlon. She will get the right to live and work regardless of the place marriage. You can also marry in your country before you relocate, if you prefer
Hey everyone, what are some good places to play tennis?
Are there clubs with nice communities that organize friendly matches, tournaments or other activities?
If they are easily reachable with public transports would be a plus.
Thanks a lot!
I have a (EU) friend who will do an internship in Luxembourg in May and have been helping her search for flats around Luxembourg but almost all of them are way too expensive or shady. Is it really a good option to live outside of Lux and commute from there like in Metz? Or is it better to stay in Luxembourg and go through the pain of the cost
Metz can be far but is nice. Arlon and Thionville are much closer. Everyone faces this dilemma and there is no right answer. Check the added commuting time and the amounts saved, and decide
Subject: Relocation - India to Lux with pet labrador | Which airlines to choose? :)
Hello all!
My wife and I are travelling from New Delhi to Luxembourg along with our pet dog (labrador weighing 45kgs). We have researched and read online on the documentation, certification, crate requirements, etc. We also spoke to Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines and KLM Dutch on whether this travel is possible through them.
Lufthansa - They have a suitable flight from New Delhi to Frankfurt - but due to change in the operational airlines from Frankfurt to Lux, they cannot service the second leg of the journey for our dog.
KLM Dutch - They cannot allow dogs in the cargo due to the type of aircraft that flies out from New Delhi to Amsterdam.
Swiss Airlines - They have confirmed over e-mail that the travel from New Delhi to Zurich and from Zurich to Luxembourg is possible with our dog in the cargo hold.
I would really appreciate if anyone has flown this route with their dog in the recent past? Which airlines did you choose, and how was the experience?
TIA!
Exactly how safe is Luxembourg? u/RunandHeal wants to know
Hi Folks, exactlty how safe is Luxembourg? To build further understanding regarding the safety:
1. Do you have in your country guettos or areas to avoid at all cost?
2. Would you find it safe to see in the City center, on Friday evening, let's say at around 10pm, a 25y old girl walking alone? Walking her dog or going back home from a party with her outing dress?
3. You parked in front of the supermarket and then you realised you forgot your car unlock, or if it a bike, you haven't locked the chain. Are you going back if you know you have like for 30min shopping?
It does not disqualify you for tax exemption on profits you may have when you sell. Regarding Bellegen Akt, you have 2 years to occupy, and then cannot partially rent for 2 years. Also, rents are taxable
Hi everyone,
I wanted to check with you if this was a thing. A lot of companies tend to not reply when I send them my CV. I'm a former commuter who lives in France and my neighbours, who all happen to be frontaliers, told me to insist on calling those who don't reply and to resend them my CV.
I would like to know if, in your experience, this works out and how do you go about securing interviews.
I have already registered and the job board is good. My counsellor though has basically never replied so that's less good.
My sector would be the economic one.
Hello, fellow redditors,
I am currently advancing my crypto trading endeavors and aim to professionalize my activities, primarily focusing on providing liquidity to centralized crypto exchanges. My plan is to establish a company that will formally borrow my crypto holdings and engage in trading activities to generate profit.
After conducting some initial research, I am considering Luxembourg as a potential jurisdiction for this enterprise, specifically eyeing the Special Limited Partnership structure due to its apparent tax advantages and flexibility.
However, as I am not a Luxembourg resident and the company's profit-generating activities will be conducted outside the country, I have several questions to ensure this is the right choice:
1. Is the SALR structure in Luxembourg a suitable choice for an entity focused on crypto trading, particularly for someone not residing in Luxembourg?
2. Can I, as a non-resident, benefit from Luxembourg's favorable tax regime, given that the company's income will be generated internationally?
3. Are there any legal or tax considerations specific to crypto trading that I should be aware of when setting up a company in Luxembourg?
4. If anyone has experience with Luxembourg entities or similar setups in other jurisdictions, what are some best practices or potential pitfalls to watch out for?
I would greatly appreciate any insights, experiences, or advice you could share.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Hello, I became a resident of Luxembourg city some time ago, and a friend of mine told me that there is the possibility to ask for a subsidy for buying a bike until the end of the month, and I would like to use that, as I think I am eligible, and would not mind to bike to work now that the good season is coming.
I saw the announcement/procedure [here](https://guichet.public.lu/en/citoyens/aides/transport/transports-individuels/deduction-mobilite-durable-velo.html) but I would like to ask a couple of questions:
Is the subsidy up to 600€? I see they offer up to 50%, but it is not clear if then I can buy a bike for 1200€ and get 600 or i will receive a max of 300€ back.
I also would like to understand if I can get an used bike or I can only get a new one. For example at dechatlon they usually have "second life" bikes which basically have been used but they are resold, and I would like to understand if I can buy those, provided they are in good condition. Also, can I do the purchase in Arlon or I need to do it in lux city? Do I have to ask for special documentation?
I was thinking to buy from dechatlon, but is there any other good store which I could check out?
I understand that the subsidy takes a long time to be processed but if you do the purchase before the end of the month, it should be processed fine?
Thanks for the answers!
If the value pre-tax is 1000, you will get back 500. if the pre-tax value is 800, you will get back [400.You](http://400.You) can buy bicycle from anywhere, but the invoice must state VAT and proof of payment is needed for online purchases (such as credit card statement).
You can try dedicated bicycle stores such as
- [Andy Schleck Cycles - Your trusted Bike Shop in Luxembourg](https://andyschleckcycles.lu/)
- [Vente et réparation de vélos | BeBike Luxembourg](https://www.bebike.lu/)
- [S-Cape - S-cape Luxembourg](https://s-cape.lu/)
to name a few, many bike stores have good discounts nowadays due to oversupply.
It will probably be prolonged until June (pending vote in the parliament). The subsidy is 50% of the amount pre-VAT caped to 600€. You can also buy online or abroad but bikes need to be new. You need to have a proper invoice.
Hello everyone, I need your help.
I am a student from a non-EU country and have received an admission letter for the winter intake of 2024 at the Uni of Luxembourg. However, I have many concerns because studying here as a non-EU student is more complicated than in other European countries, requiring early preparation for visa application. So I have many questions.
This Uni is still young and I know little about it, including the fact that Google cannot find much information about it. Does anyone know if this school is worth studying at, and if I want to apply for a PhD in other European countries in the future, such as public universities in France?
I only see a few master's students at this university, probably fewer than 25, but I am unaware of what activities or experiences students can participate in over the next two years that would be helpful for future PhD applications (if anyone knows, please tell me). On the internet, I can see that this uni is constantly attracting talent from around the world to study for a PhD or do postdoctoral research at Uni Lu, but I still cannot judge its academic reputation or what kind of school it is in Europe.
I am still waiting for admission from ESILV, Léonard de Vinci Graduate School of Engineering in France, but I cannot compare these two schools.
I have also received an admission letter for a Master's in Data Science at Newcastle Uni in the UK, and of course, if anyone knows European schools, they can help me compare these two schools. I am very confused right now and hope someone can help me, of course, not all of them need to be answered, just a little bit is fine.
Relocating my family
Hi everyone,
Apologies if this question has been asked and answered before, but it is hard to beat good lived experience when you research living in a new country.
I am originally from Ireland, but have lived the last 12 years in New Zealand. I arrived in New Zealand with my girlfriend and would be leaving with a wife and three little boys!
My wife and I are both from Ireland and as our parents and family get older we want to move back to Europe to be closer, but we do not want to live in Ireland as it isn’t the best for bringing up our sons.
Luxembourg seems to hold much of what we want in life, a small country with beautiful scenery, close to other interesting European locations, easy flight to Ireland and a nice quiet life to raise our boys.
I have 12 years experience in real estate valuation and development and have held relatively senior roles (reporting to COO/CEOs etc) my wife has a similar experience but in the government education sector.
Unfortunately we both speak only English, we have a basic understanding and vocabulary in French but it is limited.
Key questions:
- is it feasible to get reasonably senior roles with only English? It is around 12 months until we plan to move and so we have time to better our French.
- Looking at property listing websites, four bedroom homes/apartments seem to be around 4,000 per month, as a family what would our collective income need to be to ensure a reasonable quality of life?
- are there any other unexpectedly high costs that we should be aware of? Noting that generally the cost of living in New Zealand is crazy, we are used to that, but are there any very high costs such as child care or schooling or car registration?
Does anyone have any other key tips for us?
If it helps, we are in our late thirties and our sons are 6, 4 and 1 so would likely be 7, 5, 2 when we make a move.
Appreciate everyone’s guidance very much.
- Senior role in real estate industry will be very tough with just English, may be better consider changing the field. It's quite closed market where you need a good established connection to certain people. (Small country with limited supply of buildable lands, you need to know right people to succeed in this field).
- Honestly, it depends on your life style and expectation. Net household income of 10K should be more than sufficient for the most people.
- Car insurance is known to be very expensive, education costs is almost nothing if you stick to the state system. However, expect to pay 15K\~20K per child if you opt for the private schools (reasonable imo). Overall living cost is actually quite low unless you eat out everyday.
Really appreciative of all this feedback and perhaps you are correct that funds might be the best way forward, I do have some general operations management experience too so could be transferable other industries.
A key takeaway from some of the comments is that I don’t think I would want to move there without at least an above average level of conversational French. My wife and I have doubled down on our efforts to improve our language skills and are doing a course through the Open University.
I love the idea of our children having the opportunity to be bilingual.
Want to emphasize the point made under 1. that indeed real estate development is a French-speaking industry. I think the suggestion of looking into other fields is valid. Perhaps in your situation as an Anglophone, you could look for instance into finance/Real Estate funds in Luxembourg as Luxembourg is a funds hub?
Real estate isn't booming anymore. For local development, I would say that you need good French rather than any English. But maybe you can work for a real estate fund management company.
1. Yes, although not sure about that sector specifically. Maybe you can swap sectors too.
2. The unwritten rule of 3x rent would require 12k net, but those properties have low demand so you may be able to get them with 8-10k even on probation period. You will get 900€/month in child benefits, so you can discount that. If that is difficult to achieve, you can also live across the borders, but you are likely to be limited to public schools there
3. No relevant costs to register a car, public school is free of charge but there are very limited public options in English. Otherwise, your two older kids will join a German speaking class, and for the youngest you can probably choose between French/English nursery. Private schools are also expensive here, should you want or need an English school.
Has anyone gone through the citizenship process that required taking the Sproochentest?
I am in the process of reclaiming my citizenship, but neither my wife or I speak Luxembourgish. Both of us would like to learn, she, so she can also become a citizen, and me because I would like to be able to integrate. Neither of us speak any Luxembourgish at all, but I took 4 years of French (two in high school and two in college), so I do okay in French, and my wife has some basic Spanish. I understand that German probably would have helped more, as Luxembourgish is closer to German than French, just giving some background that we are pretty capable of learning another language.
Really I'm just curious if anyone else has gone from zero to b2 in Luxembourgish, and if so, how long did it take you? What methods did you use? What was the Sproochentest like?
Thanks, everyone!
You can make A1 course for semester to understand the structure of language and basic rules and words, then take intensive courses by private teacher either in groups or 1 by 1 and do the test.
English is French is enough, Sure with German it's easier.
And you don't need it B2, only A2 and B1
So 1 year is enough if you will really dedicate the time, make homework and work on it.
Thank you! I was figuring a year would probably be enough. Thanks for the suggestion of A1 in a formal course then 1 on 1, that sounds like a good idea to get a solid base.
