20 Roles Get Easier Entry
Luxembourg, which aims to attract around 335,000 workers by 2040, is targeting people in 20 occupations facing labor shortages across five sectors: financial and legal services (credit and banking risk analysis; customer management in banks and capital markets; accounting, auditing and financial control; and legal consultancy); healthcare and social services (general nursing; patient hygiene and comfort care; social work; and early childhood education); information technology (information systems management, IT studies and software development); construction, industry and maintenance (roof installation and restoration; quality management and industrial engineering; installation and maintenance of industrial and operating equipment; and vehicle body repair); and industrial research and development. The updated 2026 list adds three occupations and removes five, including aircraft mechanics, accounting and management control. Under an amendment that came into force on September 1, 2023, companies may hire people from outside the EU for occupations on the list without a labor market test. Procedures for hiring seasonal workers have also been simplified, and the test requirement has been abolished for certain legal residents and asylum seekers. For occupations not on the list, the test remains in place, but must take no more than seven working days. If no suitable candidate is found, an employment certificate must be issued within a further five working days. Some occupations still require formal recognition of foreign qualifications.
