Does my family have work rights?

Yes. Spouses of ICT permit holders receive a residence permit with full labor market access and are exempt from the ADEM labor market test.

Can I switch to a standard Salaried Worker visa?

Transitioning from ICT to a standard salaried permit is complex and often requires a 'cooling off' period or a new application from abroad if the original posting has ended.

What happens if the Ministry remains silent?

The 90-day 'Administrative Silence' rule applies. If no decision is rendered, it counts as a rejection. ICT cases are generally well-documented by HR, but monitoring the window is essential.

Can I work for other clients in Luxembourg?

No. Your work rights are strictly limited to the entity of the multinational group specified in your transfer letter.

Do I pay taxes in Luxembourg?

Yes, unless specific double-taxation treaties or social security posting certificates (A1/CoC) provide an exception for short-term stays, you will generally be subject to Luxembourgish income tax.
