Checklist: Moving to Austria

Check Solution
Residence & registration on arrival EU citizens must register with the registration authority within 4 months and also apply for a registration certificate.
Check visa or residence permit Non-EU citizens need a visa before entering the country, and a residence permit must also be applied for after arrival.
Sign up for health & social insurance After registering with social insurance, for example the regional health insurance fund, you gain access to the healthcare system; private supplementary insurance is also possible.
Clarify taxes & main residence Anyone living in Austria is liable for tax, and registration with the tax office happens automatically after you register your residence.
Handle change of address / re-registration Your new address must be reported to authorities, banks, employers and insurers, and all important documents should be updated as well.
Check importing your belongings from abroad For moves from non-EU countries, customs formalities must be observed, whereas within the EU personal belongings can be imported duty-free.
Arrange utilities & accommodation Electricity, water, gas and internet must be registered with local providers, and these contracts are often separate from the tenancy agreement.
Check language and integration courses Austria offers numerous German courses and integration programmes, for example through the Integrationshaus or adult education centres, making it easier to settle in.

FAQ: Moving to Austria

FAQ Answer
How does the matching with a moving company for Austria work? We work with vetted, experienced moving companies that specialise in international moves to Austria. First we compare quotes and check available dates, then we match you with the right haulage company so that you receive individual cost estimates.
What services do the moving companies offer? Our partners offer professional packing, transport by lorry, sea or air freight, support with customs and import formalities, and a door-to-door service. Temporary storage and various insurance options are also available.
How long does the move to Austria take? The duration depends on the place of departure and the chosen mode of transport. Within Europe, a move usually takes 2 to 7 days; air freight is faster but more expensive. Special transports or temporary storage can add to the time.
How far in advance should I plan the move? We recommend planning the move 2 to 4 months in advance so that you can compare quotes, secure dates and clarify all logistical details in good time – especially for larger households or special transport requirements.
Is my move insured? Yes. Our partners offer various insurance options, from basic to comprehensive cover, so that your household goods stay optimally protected throughout the entire transport. We are happy to advise you on which option best suits your situation.
