Registration
Everyone who moves to Austria must register with the local
authorities within three days of their arrival. You will need
to fill out a Meldezettel form and get it stamped by your
letting/real estate agent. This form will be used in various
official situations as proof of address for opening a bank
account, organising a telephone contract etc.
When you move address within Austria or leave the country
all together you must inform the local authority office.
If you move to Vienna, you should also learn the beatiful language which is spoken there. At the language school ActiLingua Academy you can learn German fast and effectively with an intensive German course.
