For employees

Welcome to the Welcome Service Tirol!

We are a service centre for highly qualified professionals, academics, and researchers from abroad who are moving to Tyrol or already living in Tyrol and who hold a long-term position with a Tyrolean company or higher education institution, or are about to take up such a position.

Does this apply to you? Great! We're delighted that you have found your way to us. Our goal is to provide you with assistance with any questions you may have, in a professional, personal, and free-of-charge manner.

We can either assist you directly or help you identify suitable service centres or service providers. In particular, where legal matters are concerned, we will be happy to refer you to specialised advisory services or experts.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have, for example regarding the following topics:

• Residence permits and immigration matters
• Finding accommodation
• Arriving in Tyrol
• Registration requirements (residence registration, etc.)
• Vehicles and driving licences
• Taxation and social security
• Finding service providers and advisory services: For certain matters, such as immigration regulations, tax and social security provisions, import regulations, or vehicle-related regulations (e.g. vehicle import, registration requirements, deadlines, and costs), it is advisable to seek professional advice well in advance of your move. This can help you take advantage of available opportunities and avoid potentially costly mistakes. We are happy to help you find suitable experts and advisory services.
• Dual Career Service for partners and spouses
• Childcare
• Living in Tyrol (finding doctors, learning German, getting around, leisure activities, attractive events, and much more)
