According to data from the Portail des Statistiques du Luxembourg, 3,752 Portuguese entered the country in 2019. The statistical office accounted for a total of 26,668 entries of foreigners into Luxembourg territory, with the Portuguese accounting for 14.1% of this total. +

For the second consecutive year the number of Portuguese arrivals in Luxembourg increased, after five years (2013 to 2017) of a decreasing trend. Between 2000 and 2019, the number of Portuguese inflows into Luxembourg was minimal in 2000 (2.193 entries) and maximum in 2012 (5.193 entries). The loss of relative importance of Portuguese immigration in Luxembourg has been accentuated: between 2003 and 2019, the number of Portuguese inflows into Luxembourg went from over 29% of the total number of foreign migrants to 14%.
