Luxembourgish citizenship by marriage refers to the possibility of acquiring Luxembourgish citizenship through marriage to a Luxembourgish citizen. When a foreign national marries a Luxembourgish citizen, they may become eligible to apply for Luxembourgish citizenship based on their marital relationship. However, it’s important to note that marriage to a Luxembourgish citizen does not automatically grant citizenship, but rather provides an opportunity to apply for it.
No, marriage to a Luxembourgish citizen does not automatically grant you Luxembourgish citizenship. It provides an opportunity to apply for citizenship, but the application process and requirements must be fulfilled.
The specific requirements may vary, but typically they include being married to a Luxembourgish citizen for a certain period (e.g., three years) and having resided in Luxembourg for a specific period of continuous and lawful residence.
Yes, applicants are usually required to demonstrate proficiency in one of the administrative languages of Luxembourg, such as Luxembourgish, French, or German. Language certificates or tests may be required.
Integration criteria may vary, but applicants are generally expected to demonstrate knowledge of Luxembourg’s history, culture, institutions, and good conduct. This can be done through interviews, tests, or providing relevant documentation.
In exceptional cases, such as when the applicant has strong ties to Luxembourg or faces extraordinary circumstances, exceptions to the usual requirements may be considered. These cases are evaluated on an individual basis.
Required documents may include marriage certificates, proof of residence, language certificates, identification documents, and other supporting documentation as specified by the authorities.
Luxembourg generally allows dual citizenship, so in most cases, you can retain your original citizenship while acquiring Luxembourgish citizenship.
