Frequently asked questions

How do I register my residence when moving to Austria?
As an EU/EEA citizen you have the right of free movement, but everyone taking up accommodation in Austria must register their address (Meldezettel) at the local registration office (Meldeamt) within three days of moving in. If you stay longer than three months you must additionally apply for an EU registration certificate (Anmeldebescheinigung). (oesterreich.gv.at)

Do I have to clear customs for my household goods moving to Austria?
No. Austria is in the EU single market, so moving your personal belongings from another EU country involves no customs declaration or import duty on household goods. Standard rules still apply to regulated items such as alcohol, tobacco, weapons or protected species. (Federal Ministry of Finance)

How much does an international move to Austria cost and how long does it take?
Costs depend mainly on the volume of goods, the distance, access at both ends and any extra services such as packing or storage, so figures vary considerably from one move to the next. An itemised, survey-based quotation is more reliable than a flat estimate, and transit times depend on your origin and route. (Flyto Relocation)

Can EU citizens rent or buy property in Austria?
EU/EEA citizens can rent throughout Austria and buy property on essentially the same terms as Austrians, although some federal provinces (Laender) apply their own registration formalities to property purchases. Landlords usually ask for a deposit, commonly up to three months’ rent, plus proof of income. (oesterreich.gv.at)

How do I access healthcare in Austria?
Austria has compulsory social health insurance; if you work you are automatically insured through the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (OeGK) and receive an e-card, while family members can be co-insured. EU citizens moving without employment need to arrange adequate cover for their stay. (oesterreich.gv.at)

Is my EU driving licence valid in Austria?
Yes. An EU/EEA driving licence is valid throughout Austria and you do not normally need to exchange it, though you may swap it voluntarily. Non-EU licences must generally be exchanged within six months of establishing residence. (Your Europe)
