What are the rules about length of periods of absence from Austria which are allowed, or indeed combined periods of absence, before the 10 year Article 50 Card is at risk?
Is the rule a total amount of absence over the 10 year period which must not be exceeded in order to receive renewal.
Thank you in advance for any information that you may be able to provide.

The absence rules are defined on the website: https://www.britishinaustria.net/faq/how-will-temporary-absences-be-calculated-in-relation-to-the-5-year-art-50-euv-card/

Hi,
I have the 10 year Article 50 card and was wondering what you must do to maintain residency.My situation is that I may need to return to the UK for potentially a number of years.
Before the 5 year absence time period must I on re-entering Austria register an address (meldezettel)? Or is it simply enough to enter the country to reset the 5 year absence period?
I not been able to find the criteria on any of the websites.Thanks very much in advance.

Firstly with a 10 year card you are allowed a 5 year CONTINUOUS absence. That means you can be away from Austria for up to 5 years without losing your residence rights. I have not actually seen it documented what you need to do to maintain this residence, however I do believe the EU were meant to clarify it. If it is of any consolation there was a recent case that went to European Court of Justice that relates to Austria (Long Term resident Third Country National) and they found it was sufficient to come back for a few days. We will get this clarified: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2022-01/cp220010en.pdf
