Persons concerned
People who work abroad as members of flight or cabin crews providing passenger or freight transport services in the field of civil aviation.
How to proceed
Prior to the start of the activity carried out abroad, the employer must apply for continued affiliation to Luxembourg social security by submitting:
- an electronic declaration via SECUline (DEMDET-procedure)
or
- the form (on paper) « Request for A1 certificate for civil servants, seafarers and crew in the field of aviation (art. 11 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004)".
The Social Security Center (Centre commun de la sécurité sociale - CCSS) examines the employer's application based on European legislation to determine whether the person concerned may continue to be affiliated to Luxembourg social security during the period of employment abroad.
If the conditions for affiliation to Luxembourg social security are met, the CCSS will issue an A1 certificate for a maximum period of 5 years.
