What actually blocks rider applications is not qualification, it is the right of residence: self-employed status requires a permit that allows independent work. For third-country nationals this must be resolved before the licence, not after; our dedicated platform immigrate.lu and our visa and immigration page cover that track.

How does the filing proceed?

We prepare the file, submit it on MyGuichet to the Directorate-General for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and follow it through to the decision. You sign, we do the rest; the flat fee is confirmed in writing before any hour is billed.

Do you need a company to deliver for Wolt or Wedely in Luxembourg?

No: the activity can run as a sole trader, with the licence attached to the person. Forming a SARL-S becomes relevant once revenue settles in, to separate private and business assets; the single formation flat fee, licence included, is published on the 2026 fee grid. Below EUR 50,000 of annual receipts, the VAT franchise regime may also remove periodic filings entirely: we check it when opening the file.
