Luxembourg has raised the minimum salary threshold for work visas, effective January 1, 2027. This new regulation applies to both skilled and unskilled foreign workers, including those from Pakistan. Employers must now offer salaries that meet or exceed the specified monthly limits before sponsoring eligible overseas workers. The minimum gross monthly salary for skilled workers will rise from €3,325.59 to €3,451.96, a 3.8% increase.
For unskilled workers, the threshold will move from €2,771.33 to €2,876.64. These changes follow similar adjustments for EU Blue Card applicants and those under the Intra-Corporate Transfer (ICT) permit in 2026. The increased salaries aim to align foreign workers' earnings with local wages and ensure employers adhere to immigration regulations.
Applicants should verify that their prospective employer's salary offer meets the relevant requirement before applying for the work permit.
