Directive 2011/98/EU 1 of 13 December 2011 on the
single permit (2011 Directive) was recast on 30
April 2024. It has been replaced by
Directive (EU) 2024/12332 of 24 April 2024
(2024 Directive), which will enter into force on
20 May 2024, except for certain provisions not entering into force
until 22 May 2026.
As a reminder, the 2011 Directive, implemented into Luxembourg
law on 19 June 2013 3, covers work and residence permits
for third-country nationals (non-EU citizens). It introduced a
single administrative procedure to merge the issuing of a residence
and work permit (known as a "single permit") to a
third-country national wishing to live and work in the EU. It also
created a set of rights for this type of worker.
