When moving to another country, such as Luxembourg, as a spouse of a highly qualified worker, you will need to apply for a relevant visa with a right set of papers. This article will guide you on this process.
If you are moving to Luxembourg with your spouse, who is a highly qualified Blue Card worker, you need to assemble some documents too.
