Likely thousands of Americans were prevented from traveling to Luxembourg to complete their citizenship procedures in 2020. However, this does not mean that the interest in the topic of Luxembourg citizenship was reduced by the Covid-19 pandemic. Things were quite the contrary. 2020 represented the year with by far the most new clients in LuxCitizenship’s history.
2020 Explained – New Applications for Dual Citizenship
Our previous record-setting year was 2018. 2018 was the final deadline to start an Article 89 application. In 2020, we added 23% more clients than we even did in 2018. In 2020, we saw a huge interest in the Article 7 process for obtaining a Certificate of Nationality. This can be done from home without travel, essential in the time of a Pandemic.
Measuring Total Applications Made
LuxCitizenship clients account for about 11% total of all Americans claiming Luxembourg dual citizenship. According to our research and Ministry statistics, LuxCitizenship’s clients represented about 12% of the overall completed applications for Luxembourg dual citizenship under Article 89 in Q1 2020.
We know that only 9.5% of the Luxembourg Dual Citizenship eligibility inquiries we received through our free dual citizenship eligibility test in 2020 converted into paid clients. Considering that our clients represent 11% of all American applicants for Dual Citizenship, it might be reasonable to believe that we do give eligibility opinions to a large % of the people pursuing dual citizenship.
