About Live in Austria

Austria made simple for newcomers.

Live in Austria helps newcomers understand the practical steps of moving, registering, working, studying and settling in Austria in simple English.

The site is built for foreigners, EU citizens, expats, students, workers and digital nomads who want clear guidance before dealing with official forms, offices and local systems.

We explain concepts and link to official sources. We do not replace legal, tax, immigration, medical, financial or professional advice.
