Luxembourgian nationality law
The Luxembourgian nationality law is ruled by the Constitution of Luxembourg.
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a member state of the European Union and, as such, its citizens are also EU citizens.
Since 1 January 2009, Luxembourg allows dual citizenship.[1] Since then, a lot of Belgians made use of the new law to adopt Belgian-Luxembourgish citizenship, especially Belgians living in Arelerland, a part of the Belgian province of Luxembourg at the border with the Grand Duchy.[2]
You can request the Luxembourgian nationality through naturalisation, if
- you are at least 18 years old
- you have lived there for 7 consecutive years (previously 5)
- you pass an exam testing your knowledge of the Luxembourgish language
- you follow courses of "civic instruction" (about Luxembourgian institutions, law, ...)
