14.01.2021 (source: British Embassy on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ukinaustria/posts/3511257155609902) The Austrian Ministry of Interior has just confirmed to us that the regional government of Lower Austria was currently not doing any physical appointments due to COVID restrictions. UK nationals were being asked to submit their documents either by post or by email (contact details for regional government offices – Bezirkshauptmannschaft or Magistrat – can be found here: https://www.help.gv.at/Portal.Node/hlpd/public/content/behoerden.html)

Once their documents had been received the WAWithdrawal Agreement The Withdrawal Agreement sets out the terms of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and provides for a deal on citizens’ rights. It sets out a transition period which lasts until 31 December 2020. During this time you can continue to live, work and study in the EU broadly as you did before 31 January 2020.   If you are resident in Austria at the end of the transition period, you will be covered by the Withdrawal Agreement, and your rights will be protected for as long as you remain resident in Austria.   Any rights that are not covered by the Withdrawal Agreement will be the subject of future negotiations.   https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-withdrawal-agreement-and-political-declaration   confirmation letter was being sent to the applicant. When restrictions eased, these applicants would be asked to come in person to give their finger prints before all the information would be sent off for their Article 50 card to be printed. While the Ministry acknowledged this would cause a delay in the applicants actually receiving their cards, given that they would have the confirmation letter stating that they were covered under the WA this shouldn’t cause any inconvenience to the applicant.
