The letter details information on "the implications of Brexit on [the recipient's] right of residence in Luxembourg, in case the Withdrawal Agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union is ratified, and in case of a "no deal" Brexit."
The letter also highlights that additional information can be found on the Luxembourg Government website (gouvernement.lu) as well as on www.guichet.lu's dedicated FAQ.
The adjacent page details the recipient's options in both scenarios. It outlines exceptions for those holding double nationality of another European member state and for those holding a diplomatic card.
For those without a second European nationality or a diplomatic card, their rights and the "necessary formalities relating to [their] residence in Luxembourg" will be affected by Brexit, the degree varying based on how the United Kingdom leaves the EU.
In case of a withdrawal agreement, Britons will continue to benefit from "largely unchanged" rights. Residence documents will remain valid until 31 December 2020, and will then "be replaced in due course by a new document that will attest to [their] status as a beneficiary of the Withdrawal Agreement."
In case of a no-deal Brexit, Britons will become third-country nationals as of the withdrawal date and will require residence permits as third-country nationals. The Luxembourgish authorities will provide Britons with right to reside in Luxembourg based on their current documents for one year as of the withdrawal date.
Britons will have to apply for such residence permits three months before the expiry of the one-year extension at the latest. Finally, the letter outlines that guidance for the application process will be published on guichet.lu in due course.
