Dear Mindful Mimi,

I'll be starting a year-long contract at the European Court of Justice from the 1st July. I'd like to know which areas I should be looking in for a 1-bedroom apartment. I also want to avoid agency fees if possible - do you have any advice?

Thanks!

Dear Mindful Mimi,

I want to find friends who aren’t mothers and who like to travel and laugh. I would also like to find some locals who will speak French with me. I sometimes feel everyone here speaks to me because they want to practise their English with me instead of having a proper conversation with me. Please advise me!

Hello,
I'm an American entrepreneur planning to relocate to Luxembourg as a self-employed business owner. Will a nine-year-old felony conviction keep me from doing so?

Hi,

I understand that there are various allowances given to families when you work and live in Luxembourg. Is there a specific site that can give some guidance? I am in the process of possibly accepting an offer for a position and would like to know i.e. how to calculate tax returns (if they exist) at the end of the year, what expenses can be passed etc. Also, if I currently live in the EU, can I bring my personal vehicle and what is needed.

I understand this is a loaded question, so thank you!

Best,
Kyrie

Dear Expert,

I have had a work permit in Luxembourg for the past one year and may be here for about two more. I would like to know if buying an apartment here would help me in getting resident status for further duration or will not help me in that regard. Also, can I change employers with this work permit?

Thanks in advance,
S.K.

Hi

I am soon to relocate to Luxembourg and need to know whether a Canadian driver's license will transfer to a full Lux. driver's license.
Where can I find out if I should ship my car to Luxembourg and whether I will receive all required documents for the vehicle? I contacted the manufacturer and they have not replied to me. Where can I find out if my car can get serviced? Thanks.
