Professional Removals to and from Austria Regal Moving & Storage

To ensure a smooth transition, it’s important to be aware of a few key requirements. A valid passport is essential for entry, and if you plan to stay longer than 90 days, you must apply for a residence permit (Anmeldebescheinigung) within four months of arrival.

Austria is a German-speaking country, although many Austrians speak English, especially in urban centres like Vienna and Salzburg. Understanding basic German can significantly ease integration. It’s also mandatory to have valid health insurance, either public (via OGK) or private, which is required to access healthcare and apply for residency.

Opening a bank account, setting up utilities, and obtaining a mobile contract can vary by region and provider, so it’s best to prepare in advance. If you’re moving to traditional towns or Alpine areas, be mindful of access limitations, such as narrow streets, staircases, or remote elevations - our team will plan around these challenges. 

If you’re taking your UK-registered vehicle to Austria, you may need to register it locally and obtain an Austrian licence plate within one month of establishing residency. This process also includes roadworthiness inspections and local vehicle tax compliance.
