Business Immigration Office

The new service point for international executives in Vienna

The Business Immigration Office (BIO) focuses on advice and comprehensive information. At the BIO, multilingual experts from the Vienna Business Agency advise expats for the first time on residence and employment law for foreigners in Vienna. As mediators of the bureaucratic requirements, they establish a direct line to the authorities. The counselling is confidential, independent and free of charge. 

For all other questions about starting and living in Vienna, the experts are available as usual at the Expat Center. Here, the advice goes far beyond purely legal questions. The Expat Center of the Vienna Business Agency offers free advice and consulting on matters of daily expat life in Vienna. Expats receive advice on all questions about arriving, settling and staying in Vienna - in all phases of your life, be it a planned job change, starting a family, importing your car, changing school or retirement. We also advise repats, professionals and managers wanting to return to Vienna on all issues relating to relocating their lives. 

Our team (PDF) will be happy to advise you!
