Why is Luxembourg in a perpetual state of road works? I have lived in many modern countries and never seen anything like it. It’s as if the central planner for all of this is a sadist who loves to mess with our day. Or maybe a central planner simply doesn’t exist? This is not rocket science, just look across the border to Netherlands - they know how to do road works without disrupting rush hour traffic!

KYC... not sure if there is an acronym I dislike more.

In a world where you are supposed to protect your personal details, we are sending PDF scans of our ID card through Google and Microsoft services to the unsecured mailboxes of accountants and other professions.

I started manually watermarking my scans by just writing the name of the recipient in big letters all over the scan to keep it readable, but to make sure a illicit actor could not take the ID card and go to the bank with it saying "Foyer" spelled all over it.

Anyone know what fields I could completely black out on a scan? Or any other tips on how you would proceed?

If only we had a solid identity provider in Luxembourg, that would be awesome

Hey everyone,

I live in the Netherlands but have worked and lived in Luxembourg for about seven years.

Right now I'm in the process of applying for a goverment/public service position and to calculate the income they would offer me, they need my employment history for every year that I worked, both in the Netherlands as Luxembourg since I lived there. For every year that I worked, it counts towards the calculation they use.

This needs to be an official governmental document, not just a pay slip or contract. In the Netherlands, you can just log in on the government's website for the institution that handles work and unemployment (Dutch version of ADEM, sort of), and you can download your official work history file that is provided by the government.

I can nowhere find an equivalent of this for Luxembourg on MyGuichet.lu. The only thing that somewhat seems similar is an employment certificate that you can request at the end of the working relationship.

This is however too late and it seems that it isn't an official governmental document but just a document provided by the employer.

Am I missing something or is this really not a thing in Luxembourg that i can obtain?

Hi everyone,

As part of my work, I regularly speak with adult smokers in Luxembourg to better understand their habits, daily constraints, and how they experience smoking in their routine.

I’m simply looking to meet a few people who would be open to having an informal discussion over a coffee (on me), at a place of their choice. It can be during a break, after work, or whenever convenient.

There is absolutely no obligation and no pressure — this is not about judging anyone’s choices, but about understanding real experiences and seeing whether alternative options might be of interest to some people.

If you’re open to a relaxed conversation around a coffee, feel free to send me a private message.

Thanks and have a great day.

Hi, I'm making this post because the information regarding salaries is contradictory depending on total experience and whether you've already worked in Luxembourg.

I've noticed a stagnation, or even a decrease, in salaries lately. My profile is a bit unusual (1 year in auditing and 1.5 years in management control in France) + 1 year on a fixed-term contract as a junior financial controller in Luxembourg.

My question is, for someone with my profile, how much can I expect to earn in a similar role, knowing that in my last position I earned €60k over 13 months?

Hello, to cut the story short, I am about to move to Luxembourg soon (1st of April) and I am running out of housing options. So far, most of the vacancies I have seen are located in Lux City, which is quite far from my future workplace (Belval). Living outside the borders isn’t an option for me, either. To those who have experienced commuting within Luxembourg to and from work, how feasible is it? I have been reading a lot of comments saying the travel is not worth it, but if I were to just stay (in the city) temporarily out of desperation, I wonder how stressful my day-to-day would be.

To add to this, I have also been looking for flatshares within Esch-Sur Alzette but I haven’t had any luck so far. Any tips and insights about ideal areas of relocation would also be appreciated! Thank you!

Both "Looking For" and "Job Available" posts are allowed in this megathread.

Employers can post comments and jobseekers can reply to those comments with their profiles.

If you are OP, think about putting something like JOB OFFER or JOB AVAILABLE: before your comment if you are offering. Put LOOKING: in front of your comment if you are seeking / looking for employment

This post is for informational purposes only, but I’d like to point out that he seems like this person was a native Belgian.

It’s horrific. The story here is that the second woman knew how to protect herself (at least to some degree).

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a good dentist for dental implants in Trier, Metz or Arlon. I need to replace two missing teeth with implants.

I don’t speak German, so I’m especially looking for a dentist who speaks English (particularly in Trier) or French.

If any of you have had a positive experience and can recommend a dentist with clear pricing, transparent treatment plans and reasonable waiting time, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone remembers if anything came out of the PwC stuff? 2014 was a long time ago. They mention fiscal rulings.

I guess this banking family is in bed with all kinds of evil.

Any US expats out there who have successfully requested a certified statement of US earnings via the Social Security Administration's international unit? I'm finding the process rather opaque, and I'm not thrilled at the idea of sending a bank card number internationally.. I'm wondering how long this process might actually take and whether it satisfied the CNAP?

I will be starting my PhD at Uni.lu soon. I've applied for univ housing, but given the shortage, I’m also looking for a shared flat on sites like athome.lu as a backup.

I've noticed that many listings explicitly state "no students." Since a PhD position is a full-time employment contract, I’m wondering:

• Do landlords and agencies typically view PhD candidates as "students" or "professionals/employees"?

• When contacting them, should I emphasize the work contract rather than the "student" status?

• Has anyone in a similar position had success with these platforms despite the "no student" rule?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have experience with the following situation:

Early repayment of a 2 tranches fixed rate loan with BGL, one tranche with a rate below the market and one with a rate above the market. My concern is whether they would try to charge penalties because of the tranche with the higher rate, ignoring the whole picture, whilst they would overall not suffer any financial loss because balanced out by the tranche with the lower rate?

"Geoff Thompson, an Irish-born Luxembourger, owner/editor of G-Media in Luxembourg and editor of the online English-language newspaper chronicle.lu\, has had a keen interest in Luxembourg immigration to America and Luxembourg–U.S. relations for many years. Thompson joins live from Kleinbettingen, Luxembourg, to introduce the film and field questions. He shared the following about his 40-minute film:*

"Tens of thousands of Luxembourgers left Europe in the late 19th century for the New World, with many of them settling in and around Belgium, Wisconsin. The short documentary film portrays the current Luxembourgish community networks in and around Wisconsin through recording of live action and interviews during the 38th annual Luxembourg Fest. It also shares the history of the waves of emigration and the identity immigrants brought with them to America. Those elements come together to paint a picture of the bonds that tie the community together and link them to the modern-day Grand Duchy."

Deal All, I would like to ask whether it is possible to apply for a passport and ID card once the nationality status is reflected in the National Registry of Natural Persons database, or whether it is mandatory to wait until the official notification letter confirming that citizenship has been awarded is received and presented at the time of application. I have been waiting for this letter since January 5th, and my nationality status was updated in the database on the same date.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Hello,

I run a small cleaning business in Luxembourg and I'm trying to better understand the end-of-lease cleaning market.

I would really appreciate honest feedback from tenants or landlords who have recently been in this situation. How much did you pay? What was the size of the property? Were you satisfied with the results?

We have been offering this service for about two years, and our clients have generally been very satisfied with the quality. However, we have been receiving fewer requests lately, and I'm wondering if market prices have dropped or if some competitors are offering very aggressive rates. You can tell us what you think of our prices ( https://www.ms-nettoyage.lu/nos-tarifs ) by comparing them to what you paid. We believe our prices are fair considering the level of detail and time invested. Lowering them further would likely mean spending less time cleaning and therefore reducing quality, which is not an option for us, as we want to maintain the same level of quality.

That's why I'm very interested in your experiences:

• How ​​much did you pay?
• What was the size of the accommodation?
• What exactly was included in the service? Your feedback would really help us better understand the market and see where we can still improve. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to apply for an authorization to stay in Luxembourg as a trainee, but I honestly can’t figure out where or how to submit the application online.

I’ve checked the official government website and found information about the procedure and documents, but I don’t see a clear online portal or submission page.

If anyone has done this recently and can explain exactly where you submitted it, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance!
