Moving to Austria

Seen from Poland, Austria is two different countries. The east – Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland – is surprisingly close to Wrocław, because the road there runs through the Czech Republic. The west – Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg – is an expedition across the Alps. So we quote and plan moves to Austria quite differently, depending on which state you will be living in.

Austrian cities and how to get there

We handle Vienna and Linz in one long day or a day and a half. Graz, Salzburg and Tyrol are two-day moves. On Alpine passes and in the valleys there are restrictions for heavier vehicles, and in winter snow chains are compulsory on certain sections, so we check the route before every departure.

Formalities after moving to Austria

1. Meldezettel – you must register within three days of moving in, at the registration office of the municipality or city council. The form is also signed by your landlord.
2. Anmeldebescheinigung – an EU citizen staying longer than three months applies for a registration certificate within four months of arrival.
3. Car – once you have moved your main residence, a car with Polish plates must be registered in Austria within a month.
4. Insurance – if you are employed, your employer registers you, and your insurance number is confirmed by the e-card.
5. Vignette – required for Austrian motorways if you are following the crew in your own car.

What we pay attention to in Austria

Storage and shared runs

For a smaller move to western Austria, the load can travel via our Frankfurt am Main warehouse, from where we also run south. If your home is not ready, your belongings wait in our Wrocław warehouse. You will find a general description of the service on the international moving page.
