Contrary to the trend of the last five years, in 2018 the number of Portuguese arriving in Luxembourg increased slightly (4.8%, 159 more migrants than in 2017). Despite this change, the number of Portuguese entering Luxembourg territory is still very far from that observed in 2012: 5.193, the highest figure for the period under review. The pronounced loss of relative importance of Portuguese immigration in Luxembourg has changed little: between 2003 and 2018, the number of Portuguese entering the country rose from 29.3% of total foreign migrant arrivals to 14.2% (13.7% in 2017).
