LUXEMBOURG — April 2025
The government of Luxembourg has released a new list of 22 high-demand jobs for foreign workers in 2025. These are jobs where local workers are not enough to meet the needs of companies in the country. The list was published officially in the Journal Officiel du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg.
This means that skilled workers from outside the EU or EEA now have a better chance to get jobs in Luxembourg through a faster and easier application process.
Why This Matters
These job roles are now part of Luxembourg’s shortage occupation list, which helps speed up recruitment and visa approval for foreign professionals.
The process allows:
- Faster work permit approvals
- Quicker job offers for skilled workers
- Simpler visa processing for selected professions
- More chances to get invited for interviews
Luxembourg’s employment agency, ADEM, helps companies find workers faster by allowing them to apply for a foreign labor certificate during or after posting a job.
