Investor residence permit
Sells the right to live in the country (a “golden visa”), sometimes leading to citizenship later.
Official name: Autorisation de séjour pour investisseur (Luxembourg investor residence permit, arts. 53bis-53quater of the immigration law)
EUR 500,000 in an existing (held 5 years) or new (held 3 years) Luxembourg company. Alternatives EUR 3m in an investment structure, EUR 20m deposit. Repeal bill 8586 pending in Sep 2026.
Notes from the research
Added by a 2017 law amending the immigration law (8 March 2017 per the Finance Ministry FAQ, 20 March 2017 per Bill 8586; the law and its in-force date are not stored, so launched is given as the year only): residence for investing EUR 500,000 in an existing or new Luxembourg company, EUR 3 million in an investment and management structure, or EUR 20 million as a deposit with a Luxembourg financial institution; three-year title after a favourable opinion from the Economy or Finance ministry. Only 9 titles issued (2018-2024), none of the first 7 renewed. Government bill 8586 (21 Jul 2025) would repeal it; still in committee in Sep 2026. status = active until the repeal is adopted.
The line follows the official figure for each period. No figure for 2021 to 2023, so the line breaks there.
