About the Austrian Program

Austrian citizenship by descent and repatriation is an exclusive legal pathway featuring mandatory case prequalification. Your documents are first vetted by immigration attorneys, and official processing commences only upon verified statutory compliance.

Key procedural milestones are contractually fixed: legal prequalification, historical archive search, comprehensive dossier assembly, personal filing in Vienna or designated EU consular representations, issuance of the citizenship certificate, and a trip to Austria to collect your passport and national ID card. In case of an adverse outcome, all paid fees are refunded in full.

Program Scope & Eligibility

Copy of international passport, birth certificate, and family genealogical details for archive verification.

Family Application

Minor children participate in the citizenship application simultaneously with the principal applicant.

Second installment upon official filing of your dossier with the competent Austrian authority or consulate.


Upon Citizenship Decree

Final installment only after the official citizenship decree is issued. In the unlikely event of an adverse decision, fees are refunded 100%.

Procedural Milestones

Questionnaire and genealogical documentation are analyzed by immigration attorneys to evaluate exact program compliance.

Formal inquiries are submitted to Austrian and European civil archives to secure verified records of ancestry.

Preparation of the complete statutory dossier, certified translations, and apostilles required for the Austrian citizenship procedure.

Personal submission of your citizenship application dossier at the selected consular post or in Vienna accompanied by counsel.
