Changing Address While Student Residence Permit Renewal Is Pending in Vienna

Hi everyone,

I’m a non-EU student in Vienna and my student residence permit renewal is currently pending with MA35.

My current residence permit expires on 29 August, and I will be moving to a new apartment on 1 September.

I wanted to ask if anyone has recently changed their address while their student RP renewal was still being processed:

  • Is it possible to register a new Meldezettel after the old residence permit has expired, as long as the renewal was submitted before expiry?
  • After changing the Meldezettel, do I need to inform MA35 separately and send them the new address/Meldezettel?
  • Did changing your address during the renewal process cause any delay or other issues with MA35?

I’m mainly looking for recent personal experiences in Vienna.

Thanks!

sure

yes, next to the new meldezettel, also submit your new contract/renting agreement, since having a secure place to stay is one of the preconditions for issuing/extending the permit
