How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

The deposit must be kept for at least 5 years, and the effective beneficiary of the deposited assets must be the investor or their spouse or registered partner. At the latest 12 months after the temporary authorisation to stay is issued, the minister who validated the project verifies whether its conditions are still met; if not, a deadline of maximum 12 months can be granted, after which withdrawal of the residence permit can be suggested. Foreigners leaving Luxembourg for more than 6 months must return their residence permit and declare their departure.

Limits of the record
  • The 5-year deposit-keeping commitment is stated only inside the sentence already cited by this via's protected R1 answer, so it is not re-cited here.

Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?

The investor residence page does not address family members, and the checked official sources do not give family rules specific to investors. Luxembourg's general family-reunification procedure applies to third-country nationals who are family members of a third-country national; under it, qualifying family members include the spouse or registered partner (aged 18 or over) and the unmarried children under 18 of the sponsor and/or spouse or partner who are in their custody and dependent on them, and the sponsor must prove stable, regular and sufficient resources to support the family without social welfare. Holders of a 'family member' residence permit have access to the job market and may carry out a salaried or self-employed activity in Luxembourg. The official source does not state whether an investor residence permit holder meets the sponsor conditions.

Limits of the record
  • The investor page itself is silent on family; this answer relies on the general third-country family-reunification page, which applies to any third-country sponsor and does not name investors specifically
  • Other sponsor conditions (accommodation, health insurance, any minimum prior stay) and discretionary extensions to other relatives not summarised

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

A residence permit for 'investors', valid for a maximum of 3 years and renewable provided the conditions for renewal are still met; renewal is requested from the General Department of immigration within 2 months prior to expiry. After 5 years of lawful and uninterrupted stay in Luxembourg, third-country nationals may apply for a long-term residence permit. The official source does not state what happens to the investment.
