What happens,
and when.

You register on the candidate portal and photograph your documents: diploma, transcript, licence to practise, employment references, passport, and a language certificate if you hold one. No scanner required.

Unreadable or incomplete documents come back to you immediately rather than weeks later. That single delay is the most common reason applications stall.

Your training is set against Luxembourg requirements: teaching hours, practical placements, clinical fields. The result is a list of specific gaps, not a verdict.

A person reads the dossier before it goes anywhere. Target for this step: eleven days from a complete upload.

The application for the right to practise goes to the Ministère de la Santé. We assemble the annexes, arrange the required sworn translations and legalisations, and track progress.

The processing time belongs to the authority. We do not quote wishful dates — only the current status, including when it slips.

Residence permit, housing, registration with the commune, social security number, bank account. Much of this runs in parallel and blocks itself when the order is wrong.

If you are an EU citizen, this step is far shorter: no visa, no work permit, just the arrival declaration within three months. From outside the EU, the residence procedure is tied to a signed job offer and adds real time.

The complete dossier is handed to the employer, onboarding is supported, and we check in after the first few weeks. A placement only counts as successful for us if you are still there six months later.
