Following the slight decline recorded in Portuguese inflows to Luxembourg in 2024, Portuguese emigration to the country decreased again in 2025 (-9.3%). Portuguese nationals are no longer the leading nationality among inflows, having been overtaken by French nationals. It is also important to note that this decrease occurs in a context of an overall decline in total immigration to Luxembourg (-2.9%). Between 2000 and 2025, 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 continues to increase: between 2003 and 2025, the number of Portuguese inflows into Luxembourg went from over 29% of the total number of foreign migrants to 13%.
