What documents does the spouse need to take
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.
Essential documents
- Recent criminal record certificate. This document is required in print with an apostille;
- Notarized copy of your birth certificate with an apostille;
- Valid international passport;
- National passport and copies of the identification and registration pages.
All the documents listed above are necessary to request temporary authorization to stay and a visa. Besides these, it's strongly advised that you take other documents that might come in handy while living in Luxembourg.
Additional documents
You might need these papers to get a job in Luxembourg, enroll your kids in school, open a company, etc.
- Income proof — evidence of official payslips to your account; this document confirms the income. You can get it from your employer or tax office;
- Certificates with an apostille and notarized translations in French/German (including WORD format) that you might need;
- Birth certificate;
- Marriage (and divorce, if applicable) certificates;
- Certificate of name change (if applicable);

In addition, it is better to take care of following documents in advance:

Employment history slip or/and your labor contracts
Driving license and an International Driving Permit.
Unique number documents can be handy as a confirmation of the lawfulness of your finances and savings. For example, a tax identification number will allow you to track your tax payments. It also links your individual pension savings account.
