[..., we are moving to a time when more and more people will become independent, partly because it is so hard to get a job when you are over 50 (like me) and yet the political system seems unaware of the difficulties.

We need the social security system to work better for this group. But in a time when budgets are squeezed what specifically could be done and who pays? Join us this Tuesday 27th of October for a lively debate!!]

We’ve hit rock bottom…!

VEFA buyers are organizing a protest on 31 October from 12:00 to 13:00 to ask the Government for:

➡️ Better protection for VEFA buyers
➡️ Faster completion of unfinished developments
➡️ Governments help for current cases that have already been impacted
➡️ Reconsideration of the mandatory two year tax break rule via the Bëllegen Akt
➡️ Stronger oversight of property developers
➡️ Greater transparency regarding project delays and insolvencies
➡️ Fair treatment and support for affected families (Legal support and compensation)
➡️ Faster legal procedures

This protest comes after the recent young people protest asking for affordable housing (including rents).

The Government is still indecisive and presents no concrete measures for victims of the VEFA crisis, or people in need of homes. These protests are meant to voice people’s concerns and hopefully stir politicians into actions before the situation becomes even worse.

Just heard Fireworks in the Clausen area. Anyone know whats up?

I'm surprised by the amount of people who feel comfortable doing extensive renovation work though individuals and companies not issuing an invoice.

I'm not talking about changing a light bulb or painting the walls, but redoing the roof, bathrooms, floors etc.

I was convinced that this would not be the case in a country like Lux but maybe I was too naive 🙈

Please advice about good barber/stylist for longer (like layered middle flow) type of hair.

Since there’s such big finance community in Luxembourg..
how can we invest into Anthropic’s pre IPO here in Lux/Eu? Any advice finance bros?

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai besoin d'un avis strictement juridique concernant une petite copropriété au Luxembourg.

Nous sommes un tout petit immeuble sans aucune charge commune au quotidien (chacun paie ses factures de son côté). La seule chose que nous devons mettre en place est le fonds de réserve / fonds de travaux obligatoire.

Le problème, c'est que les banques traditionnelles luxembourgeoises nous demandent environ 20€ par mois de frais de gestion car pour elles le syndicat est comme un client professionnel. Nous trouvons cela totalement excessif et injustifié pour y déposer un argent qui va simplement dormir, sans aucun mouvement au jour le jour.

Pour contourner cela, nous envisageons d'ouvrir un compte d'épargne joint privé au nom de deux copropriétaires. Nous comptions encadrer cela par une résolution écrite signée en AG spécifiant que cet argent appartient à l'immeuble.

Mes questions portent uniquement sur la légalité et les risques :

1. Est-ce que cette pratique est légale au regard de la loi luxembourgeoise, ou la loi impose-t-elle strictement un compte au nom officiel du Syndicat, peu importe la taille de l'immeuble et le montant des frais ?
2. Quels sont les risques réels (juridiques, fiscaux, successoraux) pour les deux copropriétaires titulaires du compte en cas de pépin (décès, contrôle fiscal, dettes personnelles) ?
3. Si un copropriétaire refuse de payer sa quote-part sur ce compte privé, le syndic peut-il l'attaquer en justice, ou le tribunal rejettera-t-il la demande sous prétexte que le compte n'est pas aux normes ?

Merci d'avance pour vos retours !

Hey folks,
I have been in Luxembourg for over 4 years and planning to get married in April’27 (just the official documentation), while the ceremony will take place in October’27, for which I will travel back to my home country in September.

I want to take advantage of the current tax reforms (before they change) and for that I want to register my marriage in Luxembourg before Jan’28. As my spouse will not be working, hence this will help me get the tax benefits for the next 25 years

Stating below my confusions:
1. Are these new tax reforms already passed by the parliament? Is it official?
2. How long does it take for the family reunion process (assuming I submit the translated marriage certificate in May) I want to take the documents back with me in September to apply for the Visa
3. Is the tax benefit contingent on the marriage getting registered in Luxembourg OR the actual arrival/declaration of spouse in Luxembourg?

Appreciate the inputs, thanks!

Hey, probably a long shot, but does anyone here happen to be selling an RTX 5090 or know someone who is?

Looking to upgrade my PC mainly for Blender and rendering, so I thought I'd check here before buying one from a retailer

Don't mind buying used as long as it's in good condition. Ideally with the original invoice

Can meet up anywhere in Luxembourg. Let me know if you've got one and what you're asking for it

Thanks!

Hello ! I spend the Halloween weekend in Luxembourg Town, going to the Gzuz concert Saturday !

I'm French but speak English, and I'd like to find someone to visit a bit, eat something traditional for lunch and all !

If someone is up and go to the same concert alone, I'd be happy to spend the day together !

Hello! Can anyone recommend a gynecologist in Luxembourg who inserts IUDs using local anesthesia? Thank you!

Salut à tous,

J'aimerais avoir vos avis réalistes sur mes chances d'intégrer le **Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA)**à l'Uni.lu pour septembre 2027 (en repartant de zéro en 1ère année). Mon parcours est un peu chaotique :

Lycée : Diplôme général au Luxembourg avec mention Bien. L'Uni.lu m'avait accepté à l'époque, mais j'ai préféré partir à l'étranger.

Université : Parti en France en éco/gestion. À cause de soucis persos, mon parcours a été très ralenti : 4 ans là-bas et seulement 100 ECTS validés sur 180 (pas de diplôme).

Expérience Pro : Depuis l'arrêt de mes études en 2025, je travaille à temps plein (bientôt 2 ans d'expérience dans l'administratif, gestion de contrats, RH/accueil).

Mes questions pour ceux qui connaissent le SEVE ou la FDEF :

Est-ce que mes 4 ans en France pour 100 ECTS sont éliminatoires pour une inscription en 1ère année (progression insuffisante), ou est-ce que ma mention Bien au lycée et mes 2 ans d'XP pro peuvent compenser ?

Pour le niveau B2 en anglais requis, mes modules validés à l'université en France suffisent-ils comme preuve, ou faut-il un test officiel (TOEFL/IELTS) ?

Les inscriptions ouvrent en février. Qu'est-ce que je peux faire d'ici là pour "blinder" mon dossier ? Les certifications en ligne (type Wharton ou Excel Expert) sont-elles bien vues par le jury ?

Merci d'avance pour votre franchise !

Probably a stupid question about postage in Luxembourg 😂
I’ve realised that some places, like the CNS, let you send letters without a stamp, but for other places I’m never sure.
For example, when sending documents to the CAE, the tax office, immigration, or private health insurance companies, how do you know whether you need to put a stamp on the envelope/prepaid envelope or whether you can just send it without one?
Is there a list somewhere of which institutions cover the postage and which ones don’t? Or do we just have to check each institution individually?

Honestly, why are we still mailing so many documents instead of being able to submit everything online in 2026?
Would appreciate any tips from people who’ve figured this out!

I’m a resident in Luxembourg with a valid CNS card. I had a medical emergency while visiting saarbrucken and needed an ambulance to take me from my location to the ER which was 5 km away.

Today I got a letter in my mailbox saying I am required to pay €765 for the service and that 30 days after receiving this letter I’ll be in default.

I had a similar emergency in Sweden but didn’t receive such a bill- is there any chance this is a mistake that I should clarify with the hospital?
And if not, is this something I can claim from CNS?

With 165,000+ Luxembourgers living abroad, representing 31% of all nationals, Bettel says the diaspora offers opportunities Luxembourg is keen to explore.

Hi all, has someone already hired a private staff and could share the experience on the CCSS side, what you don't like about it? I'm curious about the 2-month later payment (you pay the net wage to the employee and then the gross amount to ccss) + the tax-return allowance.

Also, do you know if it's possible to hire multiple private staffs in a certain period? eg. cleaning ladies on-demand, instead of hiring one for a full month

Thanks!
