Exceptional Private or Family Ties Residence

the third-country national does not fall into the categories giving entitlement to family reunification , but their personal or family ties with the person they wish to join - assessed in particular with regard to their intensity, duration and stability - are such that a refusal of residence would violate their right to respect for their private and family life in a way that is disproportionate to the grounds for refusal. In the case of a relationship between partners, neither of the 2 partners must be in a marriage or registered partnership with another person.

Third-country nationals with stable, long-standing and strong personal or family ties with a person legally residing in Luxembourg (scenario 2) must also provide:

the financial statement of support duly signed by a third party who has Luxembourg nationality or who is permitted to reside legally in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for a period of at least one year.

a document certifying the applicant's marital status and family situation (e.g.: family record book or any equivalent document issued by the authorities of the applicant's country or origin);

proof of these stable, long-standing and strong personal or family ties (e.g. household composition certificate from the country of origin, any other equivalent document issued by the authorities of the applicant's country of origin); in the event the relationship put forward is a partnership (unregistered): proof from both partners that they are not related with another person through marriage, a partnership or a long-term relationship (e.g. extract of the marital status, family book record, certificate of celibacy, composition of household and/or residence certificate issued by the country of origin);

The interested parties must prove that they have stable, regular and sufficient resources to meet their own needs and those of their dependent family members, without recourse to the social assistance system.

proof of sufficient resources (e.g. financial statement of support established by a guarantor residing in Luxembourg) amounting to at least the social inclusion income .

proof of suitable housing in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (rental agreement, property deed, etc.); proof of comprehensive health insurance valid in Luxembourg;
