How Rainbow Index works: ILGA-Europe's Rainbow Europe index (0–100) weights recent legal changes heavily — countries that passed rights early but haven't added new protections since score lower than countries still actively legislating. This is why Amsterdam (59) scores below Madrid (76): the Netherlands did everything first but Rainbow Europe rewards momentum, not just outcomes.

ADL measures attitudes (what people believe), OSCE counts reported incidents (what gets filed), and synagogues show community presence (not safety). A country can have high attitudes and low incidents (Saudi Arabia) or low attitudes and high incidents (UK). No single number captures "Jewish safety" — read all three together.

Moving from the UK to Vienna
NHS swap, post-Brexit mortgage, pension & CGT for UK passport holders
NHS → Local healthcare
Austria's healthcare is delivered through statutory insurance funds (ÖGK for employees, SVS for self-employed). Enrollment is automatic with employment. Quality is excellent — consistently top 10 globally. Very short waits for most care. The system is similar to Germany's (Bismarck model). GHIC covers emergency tourist care only. S1 form gives UK pensioners access to Austrian healthcare. Private insurance (€100–€300/month) offers Wahlarzt (private doctor) access without referral.
Buying property post-Brexit
Austrian banks lend to non-EU residents at 50–70% LTV. Post-Brexit, UK buyers are third-country nationals and may need provincial approval to purchase (Grundverkehrsgesetz varies by Bundesland — Tyrol and Salzburg are restrictive). No foreign-buyer surtax per se, but the approval process adds friction. Transfer tax (Grunderwerbsteuer): 3.5%. Registration fee: 1.1%. Notary fees: 1–3%. Mortgage rates: 3.5–4.5% fixed.
UK pension portability
Austria accepts QROPS transfers to qualifying Austrian pension products. The 25% OTC position is complex post-Brexit. UK state pension is paid in Austria with full annual uprating (Withdrawal Agreement covers pre-2021 movers; post-2021 arrivals rely on the UK-Austria bilateral agreement). Austria's pension system is generous (up to 80% of final salary after 45 years). The UK-Austria totalization agreement combines NI and Austrian contribution periods.
CGT on your UK home
The 5-year non-residence rule applies for UK property. Austria taxes residents on capital gains at a flat 27.5% (KESt) for financial assets. Property gains on Austrian real estate are taxed at 30% (Immobilienertragsteuer). Credit for UK CGT paid. No primary residence exemption exists in Austria for recently acquired property — only for properties owned 2+ years AND used as primary residence.
Double taxation treaty
The UK-Austria Double Taxation Convention covers income, pensions, and gains. UK government pensions: taxed only in the UK. Private pensions: taxable only in Austria once resident. Employment income: taxed where work is performed. Austrian tax rates are progressive (0–55% above €1M income). The treaty provides for mutual agreement and exchange of information.
Getting EU mobility back
After 5 years of continuous legal residence, apply for EU Long-Term Resident status (Daueraufenthalt-EU). Austrian citizenship normally requires 10 years of residence (reduced to 6 with strong integration evidence). Austria generally does NOT allow dual nationality — you'd need to renounce British citizenship. This is a major consideration.
Brexit bottom line: You're now a third-country national in the EU. No more right-to-reside, no more EHIC (GHIC is emergencies only), no automatic pension uprating without the Withdrawal Agreement. Every country above requires a visa application, proof of income, and private health insurance to get started.

What your EU health card actually covers here — and when it stops working
EHIC — European Health Insurance Card
EHIC covers medically necessary care during temporary stays. Once you register residence and start employment, you're automatically enrolled in statutory insurance (ÖGK for employees, SVS for self-employed). Quality is excellent with minimal waits. A Wahlarzt (private doctor) option exists for those wanting faster specialist access.
S1 Form — Porting Your Coverage
Pensioners from another EU country get access to Austrian statutory insurance via S1. Posted workers use the A1 certificate (up to 24 months). Austria's system auto-enrolls employed residents — no separate application needed.
Source: EU Regulation 883/2004 (coordination of social security), EU/EEA bilateral agreements
When Austria starts taxing you — and how your old country might not let go
You're tax-resident in Austria if you have a Wohnsitz (domicile) or maintain your habitual abode there for more than 6 months. The 183-day rule applies as a secondary test. Austrian income tax rates are progressive (0–55%, one of the EU's highest top rates). No special expat tax regime exists — what you see is what you pay.
⚠ Freelancer PE risk
Austrian Finanzamt (tax office) can claim PE if you maintain a fixed office in Austria while nominally being a resident elsewhere. Self-employed residents must register with SVS and pay both income tax and social insurance contributions from day one.

Vienna — FAQ
10 questions answered
Vienna — FAQ
10 questions answered
Vienna — Things You'll Want to Know
How safe is Vienna, really?▾
Homicide rate: 1 per 100,000 (UNODC). World average is 5.8, so Vienna is very safe by global standards. Numbeo Crime Index sits at 28.4/100 (lower = safer) — that's what residents actually say about walking home at night, not what the tourism board says. Learn the neighborhoods before signing a lease — every city has blocks you'll love and blocks you won't.
What's the real cost of living in Vienna?▾
A 1-bed in the centre runs about $1303/month (Numbeo). Day-to-day: a cheap restaurant meal: $21.53, monthly transit pass: $60. All in — rent, food, getting around, keeping the lights on — budget $1703–$2103/month depending on whether you cook or eat out. That's the settler number, not the tourist number.
What's the weather actually like in Vienna?▾
Vienna: Summers reach around 24°C with about 16.1 hours of daylight in Jun, winters drop to around -2°C and 8.3 hours of daylight in Dec. Comfortable summers — the kind where you argue about whether to open the window or not.
Can you get by in Vienna without the local language?▾
Very High English proficiency (EF EPI). But that one word hides two very different realities: office English 89/100 (can you work in English?) and street English 74/100 (can you argue with your landlord in English?). The office is usually easier. The landlord is the real test.
Is Vienna actually worth settling in long-term?▾
Austria scores 8.3/10 on the EIU Democracy Index. Strong institutions, functional courts, free press — the kind of place where criticizing politicians is entertainment, not a risk. Rent from $1303/month.
What's the job market really like in Vienna?▾
Unemployment: 5.6%. Translation: competitive but not hopeless — the right skills open doors. If you're planning to job-hunt locally, research your industry before booking a one-way ticket. If you work remotely, this number matters less — but your visa type might not let you.
Who's actually hiring in Vienna?▾
Companies with real offices here (not just a registered address): Bitpanda, Runtastic, Dynatrace, Borealis, Raiffeisen, Erste Group. Check their career pages — a company on this list isn't a guarantee they're hiring right now, but it means the talent pipeline exists.
Is Vienna any good for expats?▾
Depends what kind of expat you are. Key facts: rent from $1303/month; Austria Red-White-Red Card (complex process); English is widely spoken, reducing the language barrier significantly. The numbers above — livability score, safety, cost of living — tell you whether the city works on paper. Whether it works for you depends on what you're optimizing for. Take the quiz if you want a more honest answer than "it's great for expats."
How do you actually get a visa to live in Austria?▾
Austria has the Austria Red-White-Red Card program. Duration: 2 years (renewable). Requirements: Points-based system: education, skills, language, age. Also available for self-employed with business plan. Complex enough that an immigration lawyer earns their fee. Don't DIY this one. Always verify with the official government portal — immigration rules change faster than this page updates.
How long until you get permanent residency in Austria?▾
Permanent residency typically takes 5 years of legal residence; citizenship eligibility after 10 years total. The usual prerequisites: proof of income, a clean criminal record, and sometimes enough local language to prove you're serious. Rules change — check with an immigration lawyer before building your five-year plan around a Reddit thread.
Can you actually move to Austria?
Check real visa paths based on your passport, profession, and savings. Not the tourist visa — the one that lets you stay.
