Austria, as one of the most prosperous and stable countries in the European Union, offers a unique opportunity for high-net-worth individuals and outstanding professionals to obtain a full EU passport without the mandatory requirement of permanent residence in the country. Our company provides comprehensive legal and advisory support at all stages of this prestigious process.

Why Choose Austrian Citizenship?

The Republic of Austria stands out among Western European nations for its exceptional combination of economic strength, high security, rich cultural heritage, and pristine environment. This makes the Austrian passport one of the most sought-after in the world.

Key Advantages of Austrian Citizenship

01
Passport of Exceptional Strength

The Austrian passport ranks among the top 10 most powerful passports in the world according to the Henley Passport Index, providing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 190 countries, including the USA, Canada, the UK, Schengen Area nations, Singapore, Japan, and many others.

02
Freedom of Residence and Business in the EU

Austrian citizens gain the right to live, work, study, and conduct business in any European Union country, as well as in Switzerland.

03
Status without Mandatory Residence (Domicile)

Unlike most programs, Austria grants citizenship for special merits without requiring continuous physical residence in the country, making it ideal for global entrepreneurs.

04
Confidentiality and Prestige

The process and final decision on granting citizenship are strictly confidential and not subject to disclosure, protecting the investor's privacy.

05
Lifelong Status for the Whole Family

Citizenship obtained through investment is for life and can be passed on to spouses and children.

06
Possibility to Retain Current Citizenship

Under the investment program based on Article 10(6) of the Austrian Citizenship Act, applicants generally have the right to retain their previous passports (provided there is no prohibition from their country of first citizenship).

How to Obtain Austrian Citizenship by Investment?

Austrian legislation provides two key pathways for accelerated passport acquisition:

  • Significant Contribution to the Austrian Economy
  • Exceptional Achievements in the Interest of the Republic

Significant Contribution to the Austrian Economy – this is the most common path for investors.

It involves direct investments that create jobs, stimulate innovation, or increase the country’s export potential. Important: passive investments in government bonds or mere real estate purchases are not considered sufficient grounds.

Examples of Suitable Investments:

  • Direct investment into an existing or new Austrian business with job creation.
  • Establishing a joint venture with Austrian partners that has a significant economic impact.
  • Investments in promising sectors: high technology, scientific research, sustainable energy.

Procedure and Requirements for the Applicant

The process of obtaining Austrian citizenship by investment is multi-stage, requires meticulous preparation, and involves interaction with high-level government authorities.

Key Requirements for the Candidate:

+
Impeccable Reputation

Submission of a detailed CV, recommendation letters from respected international institutions or partners, and police clearance certificates from all countries of residence.

+
Financial Solvency

Proof of the lawful origin of capital and sustainable financial standing.

+
Health Insurance

Possession of comprehensive health insurance valid in Austria.

+
Basic Knowledge of German (for Dependent Family Members)

While the main applicant's language requirement may be relaxed in the case of exceptional investments or achievements, spouses and children typically need to demonstrate basic German language skills at level A1.
