Your Expat Community in Austria

Begin Your New Life as an Expat in Austria

A thriving heartland of European culture, Austria is one of the most diverse and picturesque countries on the continent. Bordering no fewer than eight other European states — Germany, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and Liechtenstein — it is also strikingly diverse, with a rich and storied history. Frequently ranked among the top countries in the world for development and quality of life, Austria welcomes an enormous international community to its key cities, not to mention a thriving tourist trade. As a major international center for business and trade, job opportunities in Austria are plentiful and diverse — from tourism and services to finance, logistics and project management. Whether you're in the thriving cosmopolitan center of Vienna, the rich cultural heartland of Salzburg or the stunning Alpine region of Tirol, as an expat you'll find so much to enjoy in this friendly and unique European nation.
