Luxembourg has increased the minimum salary requirement for its Blue Card program. Blue Card holders must earn an annual gross salary of at least €69,858, a slight increase from the prior €67,842. Initial and renewal Blue Card applications that fail to demonstrate that the foreign national will meet the new salary threshold will be rejected.
The Ministry of Employment generally adjusts the minimum salary for Blue Card holders annually. Compliance with salary requirements is enforced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which accepts work permit applications.
What This Means for Employers
Employers planning to file new or renewal applications for a Blue Card should incorporate the increased salary threshold and costs into their corporate budgets. Fragomen can assist clients with reviewing the new salary requirements prior to filing initial or renewal Blue Card applications.
