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]
One may request the Luxembourgian nationality through naturalisation under several conditions:
- be at least eighteen years old
- live there for seven consecutive years
- pass an exam testing knowledge of Luxembourgish language
- follow courses of "civic instruction" (about Luxembourgian institutions, law, etc.)
