Hi Jack,
No you cannot work during the 90 day Schengen Visa Free limit as it is only for tourist purposes; you can search for work though. You should apply for a Visa-D or RWR card if you want to work in Austria, unless you have an EU passport. The RWR card has a fixed employer for 2 years and I don’t believe you can be self employed during this period. There is one possible exception to this but it has a quite hefty threshold (e.g. investment capital of € 100K and/or employing others): https://www.migration.gv.at/en/types-of-immigration/permanent-immigration/self-employedkeyworkers/
You could try and contact the Welcome Services in Salzburg for further advice, but they don’t always respond – https://www.itg-salzburg.at/en/internationalization/welcome-service
On 2nd March 2022 the main British in Europe closed their virtual doors. The website will stay up for the moment and the Facebook Page has been paused. British in Austria and associated groups will continue:
https://www.britishineurope.org/page/1016442-homeYour Austrian article 50 card only provides you with rights in Austria, it provides you with no additional rights in France. Without a Visa or a residency permit for France you can only stay there 90 days in any 180 day period (Schengen Wide). What type of Article 50 card do you have? In the meantime here’s the .GOV.UK link for France – https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-france
Note: Different rules may apply if your Spouse is an EU national.Can you clarify what residency permit you have to come to Austria. I believe that Brazil, like the UK is subject to the 90 day Visa free exemption. Unless you are an EU national I am not sure the family re-unification permit is available to a fiance, I think it is only available to spouses and registered partners: https://www.migration.gv.at/en/types-of-immigration/permanent-immigration/family-reunification/. She could apply for a Visa-D though, which would allow her to stay up to 180 days
With the few we have seen in our Facebook group the official complaint to the Volksanwaltschaft after a 6 months wait, seems to move things! along!
At least 1 of our team had to hand in their Anmeldebescheinigung to get their Bescheinigung des Daueraufenthalts. In my case I had to hand in my Anmeldebescheinigung to get my Article 50 card (5 year). It seems like there is no consistent way of handling this. At least you got the card now. If you have not done so already, can you complete one of our Feedback forms: https://www.britishinaustria.net/a50-all-feedback/ It helps us keep track of any issues!
Just remember if you haven’t got your Article 50 card by now, you need to apply by 31st December 2021 – https://www.britishinaustria.net/dontmissout/ There’s lots of info on the website!
Steve,
Salzburg Land are being particularly difficult on this issue! Both we and the Embassy are working on it but cannot guarantee quick fixes.
Hi Mike,
Hot off the press this afternoon from the Embassy:
“Lower Austria have confirmed to the embassy that UK nationals in scope of the Withdrawal Agreement enjoy equal treatment to EU nationals when purchasing property.
Salzburg is the only region yet to confirm.”
Basically Salzburg Land is still a work in progress!
Hi BecS, I don’t check this forum all the time but your lawyer in Tyrol should take a look at Section § 3 of the Landesrecht konsolidiert Tirol: Gesamte Rechtsvorschrift für Grundverkehrsgesetz 1996, Tiroler. Specifically he should look at the section referencing Artikel 50 EUV. Hope that helps!
The British Embassy has all the details re. the other regions. Salzburg Land and Lower Austria are still a work in progress!
PS: If you don’t yet have an Article 50 card you should get one!
Forgot to provide this update, sorry!:
In the Embassy Q&A Outreach Event on 23rd September 2021, the Embassy confirmed the following:
“Only 2 regions have not yet confirmed that UK nationals in scope of the Withdrawal Agreement will be treated as equal to EU nationals when buying property. We expect their confirmation shortly”
The two outstanding regions are Lower Austria and Salzburg Land!Ed180 Please try and encourage him to apply. Both the Embassy and the Austrian authorities were encouraging people to apply in yesterday’s Q&A.
