A Luxembourg Ministerial Regulation has fixed the average gross annual salary, increasing the minimum salary threshold for highly skilled third-country national workers applying for an EU Blue Card, effective March 24, 2024.
- The National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies of Luxembourg has determined that the average gross annual salary for the year 2022 was EUR 58,968.
- Therefore, the threshold of the minimum salary level for a highly qualified worker is set at 1.5 times the average gross annual salary, which is EUR 88,452 per year (up from EUR 84,780 per year).
For jobs in professions for which a special need for workers who are nationals of third countries is established by the Government, the threshold for the minimum salary level is set at 1.2 times the average gross annual salary, which is EUR 70,762 (up from EUR 67,824 per year).
