Start here: how this community works

This is the place to ask anything about moving to Austria to study: choosing a route, documents, the permit, money, German and your first weeks here.

Every answer is written by the Migrada team or by a buddy, a student from your country who already made the move and is part of our team. Anything with a figure or a rule is checked against official Austrian sources before it goes up.

Ask with the box at the top of the page. We answer within 48 hours and post the question here, without your name unless you tell us otherwise.

Three rules: nobody here sells anything, nobody can guarantee a visa and you never post your documents.

Comparing Austria with other countries, or moving somewhere else in Europe? Our subreddit r/MoveToEurope is for questions about studying and moving anywhere in Europe.

Still not sure? Ask your own question.

Post it in the community. Students who made the move and the Migrada team answer.

Scam warning. Migrada never asks you to pay in a chat or to a private account.
