  • Your path to right of residence in Austria

     

    Do you want to apply for right to residence in Austria for the first time? 

    Which documentation or residence permit you need depends on your citizenship, how long you would like to reside in Austria and whether you would like to work, study or join your family here.

     

    By answering the questions, you will find out which documentation or residence permit you need.

    This questionnaire is for information purposes only and will not give you legally binding answers.

     

    At the end of the questionnaire, you will be forwarded to a website of the Municipal Department 35 - Immigration and Citizenship (MA 35). 

    There you can book an appointment to file your application. You will also find information about requirements, required documents and which office to contact.

     

    The requirements for right of residence in Austria are regulated in the Residence and Settlement Act (NAG) (German). The Residence and Settlement Act is a federal law.

    You can find general information at oesterreich.gv.at, a website by the Austrian government.
