According to Mercer’s latest Quality of Living City Ranking (2024), Vienna is the city with the second highest quality of living in the world (behind Zurich and ahead of Geneva and Copenhagen). At the same time, Vienna is only ranked in 24th position in Mercer’s Cost of Living City Ranking 2024 (with Zurich and Geneva in 3rd and 4th place and Copenhagen in 11th place).

This combination of safety, excellent infrastructure, great universities, outstanding medical services, and exceptionally high environmental standards on the one hand and affordability as well as the absence of gift, inheritance and wealth taxes on the other hand makes Austria in general and Vienna in particular an ideal destination for financially independent persons from around the globe.

In this reel, eos partner Elmar Drabek highlights the key requirements for residence permits for private purposes (or, as they are also called, settlement permits except gainful employment) and the importance of starting early in the year to ensure the availability of flawless application packages at the beginning of 2027, when the currently exhausted quota for these permits will be replenished.

If you consider relocating to Vienna or other parts of Austria as a financially independent person in 2027, reach out to us to get it right from the start.

Sports history in the making – powered by eos

Fighting for a client, going the extra mile, and convincing authorities or judges that a citizenship application should be approved, is already very rewarding. But seeing these efforts come to fruition almost instantaneously – it has only been a few months since we received Anastasia’s Austrian passport – takes it to a whole different level.

We will continue cheering on Anastasia at the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid and bringing top athletes to Austria.

Did you know, you could obtain Austrian citizenship if your Jewish ancestor fled Austria in the 1920s? Here’s why!

In March 1925, Hugo Bettauer, the best-selling author, was brutally murdered by N**i sympathiser Otto Rothstock. But Rothstock was not convicted of murder!

Instead, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital and walked free just 20 months later.

The Vienna Administrative Court says that after this high-profile murder, the Jewish population in Vienna could no longer rely on Austrian state protection against N**i attacks.

We think there was no state protection against N**i attacks on the Viennese Jewish population before that either.

However – the point is disputed and there is no case law yet!

If your Jewish ancestor fled Austria in 1920s, we can help you obtain Austrian citizenship. Reach out to us!

The House of the European Union in Vienna stands not only for a legacy of economic growth and prosperity but also for a shared commitment to liberal democracy, the rule of law and international cooperation – principles which have shaped Austria’s development since the country’s accession to the EU in 1995.

In this reel, eos partner Elmar Drabek explains the key features of the EU Blue Card, a combined residence and work permit designed to attract highly skilled third-country nationals, and clarifies common misconceptions surrounding its scope and legal nature.

In this video, we explain the prevented return principle under Section 58c of the Austrian Citizenship Act.

Since September 2020, victims of N**i persecution and their descendants may be eligible for Austrian citizenship. One key pathway is through the prevented return principle, which applies if your direct ancestor was unable to return to Austria between January 30, 1933, and May 9, 1945 due to fear of persecution by the N**i regime.

This also includes cases where an ancestor, born abroad, was prevented from moving to Austria for the first time during that period.

Watch the full video to understand eligibility requirements and whether this route may apply to your family history.

If you have questions about your eligibility, feel free to get in touch.
Stay tuned for more updates and detailed guides on Austrian citizenship ⚖️

Since September 2020, victims of N**i persecution and their descendants can acquire Austrian citizenship under section 58c Austrian Citizenship Act.

In this reel, we touch on the principle of prevented return.

To acquire Austrian citizenship under this principle, you must have had a director-line ancestor who was Austrian and prevented from returning to Austria between 30 January 1933 and 9 May 1945 because of fear of suffering persecution at the hands of the N**i regime.

This principle also applies if one of your direct-line ancestors was born abroad and was prevented from moving to Austria for the first time between January 1933 and May 1945.

If you have questions about whether you meet the requirements for citizenship under the prevented return principle, do get in touch.

We will post a full video about the prevented return principle on our YouTube channel shortly - stay tuned for further updates ⚖️

Since September 2020, survivors of N**i persecution and their descendants have been able to acquire Austrian citizenship in privileged citizenship proceedings – an overdue gesture of the Austrian parliament towards families who were forced to leave their homes in Austria between the 1930s and the 1950s.

Having helped hundreds of people obtain Austrian citizenship in “section 58c” proceedings and contributed to leading case law in this area, we feel that this International Holocaust Remembrance Day also offers the opportunity to take stock and share our experiences.

While opening up a path to Austrian citizenship under section 58c does not even come close to compensating the affected families for the murderous injustice they suffered after their country embraced N**i tyranny, our clients have often shared that receiving Austrian passports has helped them to come to terms with a family history of persecution.

Many say that the process allowed them to discover something new about their Austrian roots and, in some cases, to obtain closure.
Some of our clients have taken the opportunity of Austrian citizenship (and with it, EU citizenship) to relocate with their families to Austria, while others have exercised their right to free movement and relocated to other countries in the European Union.

The above provisions on Austrian citizenship are not perfect. This is why we regularly challenge negative citizenship decisions.

Despite all imperfections, Austria’s new rules have allowed for the granting of citizenship to thousands of Holocaust survivors and their descendants, and it has been our honour to have obtained Austrian citizenship for several hundred of our clients.

If you have a family history of N**i persecution in Austria and would like to obtain Austrian citizenship, reach out to us. Our experts will guide you through the process.

Prior to acquiring Austrian nationality in regular naturalization proceedings, successful applicants are required to renounce their citizenship(s) within two years from the issuance of a preliminary decision on Austrian citizenship (provided that renunciation is factually and legally possible in the countries concerned).

Having said that, sec 10 subsec 6 of the Austrian Citizenship Act allows for naturalization without prior residence in Austria and without renouncing other citizenship(s) if the Federal Government confirms that naturalization is in the special interest of Austria because of the applicant’s extraordinary achievements as an athlete, artist, entrepreneur, or scientist.

A few weeks ago, eos successfully completed privileged naturalization proceedings for tennis professional Anastasia Potapova, winner of six WTA tournaments for singles and doubles (and counting).

Following her naturalization, Anastasia became Austria’s highest ranked player on the WTA tour and will represent Austria in the Billie Jean King Cup in 2026.

With more than two decades of experience in high-level citizenship cases, our team regularly advises applicants with extraordinary achievements on how to prepare successful applications for privileged naturalization and represents top-echelon athletes, artists, entrepreneurs and scientists in citizenship proceedings under sec 10 subsec 6.

Months. Sometimes years.
And still no decision on your Austrian citizenship.

Emails go unanswered.
The same documents are requested again and again.
And you’re left feeling stuck and powerless.

What many people don’t know:
Your application cannot be left pending indefinitely.
By law, it must be processed without unnecessary delay - and no later than within 6 months.

If this deadline is missed, you have rights.
An appeal to the Administrative Court for delay can help move your case forward.

We understand how exhausting and discouraging this process can be.
That’s why we step in, communicate directly with the authorities, and actively advocate for your case.

So you can finally close this chapter of your life -
with relief, not frustration.

If you’ve been waiting far too long,
reach out to us. You don’t have to go through this alone.
