Introduction

Have you chosen Vienna as your new centre of life? Or are you currently planning your move to the city of the Wiener Schnitzel, Fiaker, the Viennese Philharmonic orchestra and so many other highlights?

Then let us congratulate you, as you couldn´t have made a better choice. Moving is never easy and is made even more difficult, if you´re not speaking the language and are not familiar with the local bureaucracy. Vienna is known for its beautiful sights, cultural events and the high quality of living. But as life is not all roses, a move to Vienna also means dealing with local authorities and institutions.

Have you heard about some of these official documents? Beschäftigungsbewilligung, Aufenthaltstitel, Daueraufenthaltsgenehmigung, Anerkennung von Berufsqualifikationen?

All these documents require a lot of organising and collecting documents at different authorities.

These processes are hard enough for a born Viennese and Native German speaker. So having to deal with that as a new Arrival or soon to be Viennese, can be overwhelming and intimidating.

That´s where we get into the game and want to be your helping hand, navigating and guiding you through the bureaucracy chaos.

Whether you´re struggling to find the right neighbourhood for your new home or are not sure how the application process for your residence permit works. Or even if you simply just need a helping hand, collecting all the required documents – we´re here for you, at every step of the way.

It doesn´t matter if you´re moving for a new job, as a single person or with your whole family and everything but the kitchen sink.

Taking the right measurements, planning and preparing all the required steps and setting up the right framework, can be crucial for a smooth start in Vienna.

It might sound a bit overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be. If you’ve got the right support with local knowledge, you can save yourself a lot of stress and headache.

As every person and every family has different needs, we offer different packages depending on what suits your situation and your lifestyle best.

“Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day, without realising it, you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can’t imagine life without them.” – Tahir Shah

Moving country will feel strange at first, but doing anything new is always going to feel strange at the beginning! After no time at all, you’ll find your new “normal” in your new home country,  and won’t be able to imagine life any other way!
