Authorisation to stay and residence permit
You will find detailed information on the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs website.
On their arrival in Luxembourg, applicants must submit their temporary authorisation to stay (AST) issued by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs to the Admissions Office in the Student Department. No enrolments can be finalised without this document.
If you are accepted for admission, you will need to request a criminal record certificate so that you can apply for a residence permit. We would strongly recommend that you request a criminal record certificate from your country of residence in advance so that it does not hold up the procedure with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We would suggest that you request this document no later than the beginning of April, even if you have not yet received the result of your application.
