Luxembourgian nationality law is ruled by the Constitution of Luxembourg.
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a member state of the European Union and, as such, its citizens are also EU citizens.
Since 1 January 2009, Luxembourg has allowed dual citizenship. Since then, many Belgians have made use of the new law to adopt Belgian-Luxembourgish citizenship, especially Belgians living in Arelerland, a part of the Belgian province of Luxembourg at the border with the Grand Duchy.
One may request Luxembourgian nationality through naturalisation under several conditions:
- being at least eighteen years old
- living there for seven consecutive years
- passing an exam testing knowledge of the Luxembourgish language
- taking courses of "civic instruction" (about Luxembourgian institutions, law, etc.)
