[QUOTE="trophy33, post: 77660409, member: 414763"] If somebody is thinking about moving to Austria: The problem with Austria is that you must use (the Austrian - different in different parts of Austria) German to even find the apartment. Most people do not speak English or do not want to speak English, there. You will need to register utilities, internet, phone or your residence in German, basically. Not to say taxes, dentists, doctors. Even ordering basic food is a problem, no main grocery eshops have an English version: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.alfies.at/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hausfreund.at/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://bauernladenhelene.at/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.spar.at/online-shops[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://shop.billa.at/[/URL] And of course, couriers will not call you in English, so you will need to at least understand what they say in German. BTW, deposit on an apartment is unusually high, mostly 3 months, but frequently also 6 months payment. Also, prepare for high taxes. For an expat, its more easier in Netherlands, for example.
