Work for beneficiaries of a postponement of deportation or suspension of deportation for medical reasons
Last update
Third-country nationals benefiting from a postponement of deportation or suspension of deportation for medical reasons may apply to work temporarily in certain specific cases. This temporary work permit (autorisation d’occupation temporaire - AOT) is only valid for one profession and one specific employer.
The AOT is valid for 6 months and can be renewed.
The granting of an AOT does not entitle the holder to a residence permit, or to the payment of full unemployment benefits.
Who is concerned
Third-country nationals benefiting from a valid decision to postpone deportation or suspend deportation for medical reasons are affected.
How to proceed
Temporary work permit application
Before hiring a third-country national, employers must declare the vacant position to the National Employment Agency (Agence pour le développement de l'emploi - ADEM).
The application submitted must include:
- the certificate for the postponement or suspension of deportation;
- where applicable, a certified copy of the original of certificates proving the professional qualifications of the worker;
- a copy of the passport of the person concerned (if available);
- a copy of the employment contract, dated, signed and compliant with Luxembourg labour law;
- the CV of the person concerned;
- a letter explaining and justifying the employment of the applicant by the employer;
Temporary work permit applications are approved or rejected by the Minister responsible for immigration.
Permit validity and renewal
The permit is valid for 6 months for a specific employer and for one profession. The permit is renewable for as long as the conditions are met.
A temporary work permit is no longer valid:
- when it expires;
- when one of the parties to the employment contract ends the working relationship;
- when the decision to postpone deportation expires;
- when the suspension of deportation for medical reasons expires.
A temporary work permit will be withdrawn:
- if the beneficiary works in a different profession to that authorised;
- if the beneficiary fraudulently resorted to dishonest practices or incorrect declarations to obtain it.
The applicant's employment contract will be terminated automatically when the temporary work permit expires or is withdrawn.
