    Brazilian population in Luxembourg: 1.823 (source Statec.lu)

    It is quite easy for brazilian people to integrate as portuguese is spoken by a large portuguese community living also in Luxembourg.

    As almost half of the country’s population is foreign, the country, its population and its institutions are accustomed to receive foreigners and answer their questions. There are many supportive communities, which are extremely active and voluntary. As we are in the digital era, you will find plenty of blogs and websites with advice in this area in different languages, but mainly in English.
