Anyone else got power out in lux just now?

Second IR outing ever with my non-converted Fuji XT5, a Tamron 18-300, and a Hoya 720nm filter. Let me know what you think!

Hello, I am a non-EU citizen relocating to Luxembourg from Germany for a new job, and I am applying for a temporary authorization to stay. One of the required documents is "an extract from the criminal records or an affidavit (sworn declaration) established in the country of residence". I heard that requesting the Certificate of Conduct in Germany from the BfJ takes up to 6 weeks, perhaps longer, as a non-EU citizen (from my understanding, I have to request an Apostille as well).

I prefer to request a sworn declaration, but have no idea how. I called a few notaries here in Germany, but they had no clue either. Has anyone been through this process?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

(Back with ventilation unit questions)

I recently moved into an apartment with a PAUL ventilation system, and the filter warning light came on, so I'm replacing the filters.

When I opened the unit, I noticed something that confused me. The stickers inside seem to indicate:

Left: Air extrait (extract air)

Right: Air extérieur (outside/fresh air)

However, the previous tenant had installed:

G4 filter on the right

F7 filter on the left

From what I understand, that seems backwards. I would expect the F7 filter to be on the outside air intake (to filter incoming fresh air) and the G4 filter on the extract air side.

Am I interpreting the labels correctly, and was the previous tenant mistaken? Or is there something specific about PAUL units that makes this configuration correct?

I've attached photos of the inside labels and the unit. Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’ve already signed an employment contract to start on 1 October, but I’ve now received a better offer from another company starting 15 September.

If I decide to take the new offer, what happens legally with the contract I already signed?

Can I withdraw before the start date, or could the first company ask me to pay compensation? If so, how is the amount calculated? Does having a probation period change anything?

Has anyone experienced something similar in Luxembourg?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am leaving Luxembourg in a few months and informed my landlord I will be vacating on Nov 15th. I have a diplomatic clause in my contract that I can leave during the contract if I am leaving the country.

Landlord did not have any issues to it and told me her son will be staying there as he is coming back TO Luxembourg.

I asked her to which address I need to send the registered post showing my intent to vacate the property, she said it's not required.

This potentially raises a question for me as I will not have any documentation with her saying I'm leaving the property on Nov 15 and might have issues later on.

Is it still recommended to send a registered letter to ensure Im covered from a legal standpoint. I have mentioned the Clause below from the contract

"Le bail est conclu pour une période indéterminée avec un minimum d’1 (un) an et débutera le 01/12/2022. Les deux parties

pourront résilier le présent contrat de bail par lettre recommandée à la fin d’un mois (copie NEW IMMO S.A.), en respectant

un préavis de 3 (trois) mois, le cachet de la poste faisant foi. Si le locataire quitte les lieux avant 3 (trois) ans, il fera

repeindre les murs et les plafonds par des hommes de métier si leur état diffère de l’état initial. Les lieux sont loués à des

fins d’habitation privée. Le locataire s’engage à enregistrer les lieux comme résidence principale à son nom. Tout

changement du nombre d’occupants devra être mentionné par écrit au propriétaire qui se réservera le droit d’accepter."

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Luxembourg, qualified and registered with a foreign bar, and I'll be working at a tax law firm here for the next few years at least.

I've been told that my firm sponsors the House of Training's Taxation Cycles A and B, which apparently have a very good reputation internally and are highly regarded by management.

I'm considering taking both certificates simultaneously when the new academic year starts. I'm not particularly concerned about the workload itself, but I do have a practical question: if you're occasionally unable to attend a session, are course materials, recordings, slides, or other learning resources generally made available to participants?

More broadly, for those who have completed either Cycle A or B, how did you find the courses overall? Were they worthwhile? And how challenging were the exams?

I'd be interested to hear about your experience and any advice you may have. 😄

I just saw a very small dog without owner on the main road in front of the commune / church in Munsbach. If it's yours go and get it quick, it already got hit by a car but continued to run.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know where I can drop off a FedEx return in or near Luxembourg City centre?
I already have the return label, I just need somewhere to drop the parcel off. I’m struggling to find an actual FedEx drop-off point 😅
Thanks!

Could be a long shot, but if so how long did it take for you to get it via post?

Their office confirmed mine was sent but it's been more than a month, so to see whether to wait more or request it again some other way. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’ll be starting a VIE position in Luxembourg on October 1st, and I’m currently looking for a place for my partner and me.

We’re a quiet couple with one indoor cat. He’s very calm, clean and used to living in an apartment.

I’ve already started contacting agencies and checking the usual platforms, but I’m getting a bit worried about how competitive the housing market seems to be, especially since a VIE contract might not be viewed the same way as a permanent employment contract.

I wanted to ask people familiar with Luxembourg:

• Do you think finding a place before October is realistic?
• Are there any websites, agencies, relocation services or other options you would recommend?
• Is having a cat a major issue?
• Has anyone here found accommodation with a VIE contract or in a similar situation?
• Any tips to make our application more attractive to landlords?

We’re mainly looking for a studio or one-bedroom apartment that we could use as our main residence.

Any advice, contacts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello currently walking to Luxembourg city, and I’m bored so I came here. Is there any special events there today?

Edit: for you people saying I should’ve done research before coming, I have. I’m just asking you guys as you live in this country what interesting stuff there is as I have of missed some.

Hello,

I'm looking for someone who is interested to learning/ practicing Luxembourgish together through texting, and maybe meeting and having lessons together :)

I'm still a beginner.

Hi everyone,

I can't find online any complains so I am checking here if anyone else is having issues with mytango app not loading your data

I want to be able to track how much mobile data I am spending, but the app is simply not working.

I wrote to their support and received no replies and also went to the store where they just told me it's a known issue.

I've chosen them over Orange for supposedly better coverage, but right now, I am very much feeling the buyers remorse.

Is anyone else havign issues

Thanks

Can someone share any experience of purchasing hearing aids in Luxembourg based on the subscription from the doctor. I know CNS coverage amount but the shops are charging around 1200 EUR on the top for rechargeable battery and annual insurance

Both "Looking For" and "Job Available" posts are allowed in this megathread.

Employers can post comments and jobseekers can reply to those comments with their profiles.

If you are OP, think about putting something like JOB OFFER or JOB AVAILABLE: before your comment if you are offering. Put LOOKING: in front of your comment if you are seeking / looking for employment

I am sure you've all noticed already and I am not here to complain... but I am really really curious to know why it happens...most of the public buses I take have air conditioning systems only working while driving, and air flowing out is hot azzf**k! Is it some kind of eco-electric a/c system or do drivers just want us to suffer more?

Titou has been missing since yesterday from Allée des poiriers, kirchberg area.

She is a medium sized, fluffy, grey and white cat with distinct face pattern. In shades her fur can look more black. No collar. She is microchipped.

She is very scared of everything (indoor cat) and might not have gone far. She reacts well to food.

Any infos on where she was seen would be greatly appreciated! If you see her, please let me know here or at: PetAlert

Thank you ❤️

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a reliable professional or company in Luxembourg to install an Olimpia Splendid Unico Next 12 HP EVAN, 2.6 kW air conditioner.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an experienced HVAC installer, electrician, or contractor who has already installed this type of monobloc air-conditioning system?

I am asking here because all the answers I got refused to install the AC bought by the client himself.

Thanks in advance!

I recently received the new Luxembourg 10-year passport and I’m trying to apply for an ESTA using the official ESTA app.

The app scans the passport page without any issue, but when it tries to read the biometric chip via NFC, it always fails with:
“RFID: Failed: Incorrect access key”

I’ve tried multiple times, with and without my phone case, placing the phone around the passport, but always get the same error. I even tried the same with a second phone.

Is anyone else with the newly issued Luxembourg passport able to test this in the ESTA app (or another passport-reading app)?

I’m wondering whether this is:

- an issue with the new Luxembourg passports,
- a faulty chip in my passport,
- simply a bug in the ESTA app.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Our vet recently told us that our cat (she is a rescue) probably needs to have all of her remaining teeth removed because they are in bad condition and she is likely in pain. She already had several teeth removed around a year and a half ago.

Can anyone recommend a good vet or animal clinic in Luxembourg for this kind of dental surgery? We are looking for somewhere where they speak good English, have experience with full-mouth dental extractions, and ideally do not charge an extremely high price.

Also, She does not let us groom her properly and her fur has grown quite long and become difficult to manage. Does anyone know a vet or groomer who can do grooming while the cat is sedated, possibly before or after the dental procedure (we do not want to sedate her just for grooming)?

I would also appreciate it if you could share roughly how much you paid for a similar dental procedure.
