This is purely theoretical question.

Is it possible for a Luxembourg citizen to be restricted from traveling abroad, i.e. the person cannot leave Luxembourg borders? (like it is the case for certain people in some countries, e.g. Russia)

    The legal jurisdictions I am familiar with typically restrict the freedom of movement under some circumstances, such as when someone is awaiting trial. I do not know specifically about the laws of Luxembourg. – phoog Dec 27 '18 at 15:09

In general Luxembourg does not forbid anyone from leaving the country.

A court may impose restrictions on someone leaving, for example if they are accused of a crime. Excepting those with a legal right to reside in the country, there is no guarantee that a person will be admitted back after leaving.

  • Just to note that a citizen of a country always has the right to reside in that country, and Luxembourg is a signatory to the relevant international agreements (UDHR) that state this. Also, Luxembourg can revoke a citizen's passport, effectively ending their ability to cross into another country by a controlled border or board an airliner. There might be other ways to prevent someone from leaving as well.... – ouflak Jan 02 '19 at 09:42
