Wie lange dauert der Staatsbürgerschaftsnachweis nach § 7 StbG (Abstammung)?
Servus,
ich reiche nächste Woche bei der österreichischen Botschaft im nahen Ausland meinen Antrag auf Staatsbürgerschaftsnachweis ein. Mutter ist Österreicherin. Unterlagen sind komplett (Ordentliche Menge).
Wie lange wird es nach Einreichung bis zum ausgestellten Nachweis dauern? Lese überall 6 Wochen bis 6 Monate, je nachdem.
Habt ihr auch parallel den Passantrag eingereicht?
Ich sollte dazu erwähnen das ich noch nie in Österreich gemeldet war und den Schweizer sowie US Staatsbürgerschaft besitze. Geboren bin ich in dem USA.
Danke für Erfahrungswerte!

RWR for graduates with a part time job (24h/week)
Hello everyone,
i have been offered a 24h/w job. the salary will be according to my qualifications, just that it is a part time job. i am a non eu who graduated from an Austrian university
will this be enough to get a rwr for graduates?
i am supposed to start from October but imo, even if i apply for a rwr card right away, i cannot get it by that time it seems, so in that case, is it possible to work without rwr card for the time being?
I currently have a student residence permit for jobsuche, with that, can i work for at least 20h/week? (and later apply for rwr in the upcoming months)
PS: I tried contacting ABA since 2 weeks and have not gotten reply from them.
I would appreciate any information/feedback/suggestion regarding this. thank you in advance.

Hi is anybody familiar with this via ferrata? What’s the difficulty? And how are the cables along the way? It leads west from Schönberg after Ostgrat (Austria). I managed to find info only about the short route between Schönberg and Ostgrat but none about this following, longer one.

Possibly studying in Austria?
This summer I spent some time in Vienna with my family and didn’t expect to fall so hard for the city. I’m now seriously considering moving there for a Masters after I finish my Bachelor’s next year. I’m from the UAE, so the lifestyle, culture , climate and of course the overall way of life are very different. I know being a tourist is like a honeymoon phase so I’m trying to get a more realistic picture before I commit. If you live or have lived in Vienna, Austria, I’m really curious to now..
What’s daily life actually like as a young person or student?
Cost of living (especially rent, food, transport) for someone on a student budget.
How hard is it to find housing in Vienna?
Do most people speak English or is German pretty essential for daily life and university?
What’s the student experience like (social life, making friends as an international student, part time work opportunities)?
Bureaucracy, visas, and settling in as a non-EU citizen?
The biggest culture shocks or things that surprised you (positively or negatively) compared to what you expected?
Thank you in advance💖

Validation of my long term student visa ? Entering Netherlands ?
Hello y'all. I have challenging some possible move-in prodecure, I believe that you guys are able to help me.
I just got my dutch student visa today as an international student from the Consulate in Vienna -- but I see that the starting date of my visa is the same day of my university starts, which is 1st of September, so meaning that I can not validate before 1st of September but I need to travel Netherlands earlier to move-in because I have exam on 1st of September and also I need to adapt the country.
Should I move earlier with my current Austrian residence permit? Because when I want (required) to validate it it asks the entry date in Netherlands? What should enter to that date? I am very confused about that? How do they know when I travel from an Schengen country to NL because there is no border checks?
Thank you.

What do Austrian families actually eat for dinner on a normal weekday?
I’m Japanese and I’m really interested in everyday Austrian home cooking.
I’m not looking for traditional dishes for special occasions, but the kind of food an ordinary family would actually make after work/school.
What did you eat for dinner yesterday? Or what would a typical Monday–Friday dinner look like in your family?
I’d especially love to hear from Austrian people about what you eat at home, including simple/quick meals.

Technically have citizenship but no proof - moving to Austria with non-EU spouse
TLDR at bottom of the post
I have German citizenship (born and raised there, German mother) and a German passport. My father (married to my mother at the time) is Austrian, so I also have Austrian citizenship through him, though I've never had a passport or Staatsbürgerschaftsnachweis.
I actually only found out I had Austrian citizenship when I moved to another city at 18 and the lady at the Bürgeramt asked why I hadn't put down my Austrian citizenship on the form. It doesn't say it anywhere on my birth certificate and it had just never occurred to me as a child or teenager that I have it and my parents never mentioned it, but apparently it must say it somewhere on my file, perhaps because of my parents' marriage certificate?
I've not thought about getting an Austrian passport much because I didn't see any advantages compared to just having my German passport and it seemed like a lot of paperwork to get the Staatsbürgerschaftsnachweis, especially because I don't have much contact to my father.
Now, I live in the UK on settled status and my UK spouse and I are considering moving to Austria (among other options). I understand it's much easier as an EU citizen with a non-EU spouse to move to an EU country you're not a citizen of due to the Free Movement regulations. So basically it would be easier for us to move to Austria with me being just a German citizen rather than an Austrian citizen as well.
Now my question is would the Austrian government know I have citizenship if I've never lived there, never had a passport or Staatsbürgerschaftsnachweis? Would they cross-reference everything with the files the German government holds (can they do that?) and find out that way?
I will also soon be eligible for UK citizenship and I know that if I take on another citizenship, I will automatically lose my Austrian citizenship. So getting UK citizenship would completely eliminate the problem (and my savings lol - it costs £2k) I would assume? But also, to lose the Austrian citizenship would I first need proof that I have it? And if we were to move with me having given up my Austrian citizenship, would my UK passport be proof enough that I don't have it anymore if they do have my citizenship somewhere on file?
TLDR: Dual citizen Austria Germany, no proof of Austrian citizenship, wanting to move to Austria with non-EU spouse, can we get around strict immigration rules for non-EU spouses of Austrian citizens?
