Entry, Residence and Work

The legal requirements for entry, residence, and employment can be challenging, and personal advice is often the best way to move forward.

For citizens of EU/EEA countries and Switzerland, moving to Austria in connection with employment is generally relatively straightforward from a residence law perspective. However, certain legal requirements must still be met, and in case of uncertainty, we recommend seeking professional advice.

For nationals of third countries, the legal framework is significantly more complex from the outset. We strongly advise informing yourself early and obtaining individual expert guidance to navigate the process as smoothly as possible.

Whether you're looking for initial orientation or have a specific question – we’re here for you and happy to assist you! A personal consultation can help you gain clarity and take the right steps. We can either assist you directly or refer you to specialized advisory services that are available free of charge. Our service is also free of charge!
