The Croatian community in Luxembourg: cross-border workers and residents
Luxembourg is one of the European countries with the highest proportion of foreign residents - 47% of the population is of non-Luxembourgish nationality. Croatian nationals form part of the Central and Southern European communities present in the Grand Duchy, attracted by the dynamic labour market in construction, hospitality, healthcare and financial services.
- Residence registration: Croatians arriving in Luxembourg must register with the municipality and may need certified translations of their civil status documents for the communal administration or the Directorate of Immigration.
- Cross-border workers: Some Croatian residents in Moselle or Lorraine work in Luxembourg. Their professional and personal documents may require translation for Luxembourg employers or authorities.
- Family reunification: Croatians residing in Luxembourg who bring family members from Croatia must produce sworn translations of civil status documents before the Directorate of Immigration.
