Austria is located in the heart of Europe, and offers an extraordinary quality of life. For decades, its strategic location and excellent social, political and financial infrastructure have made Austria a popular location for internationally operating holding and trading companies, as well as a sought after destination for foreign investment.
As one of the pioneers in this field, HSP‘s team has more than 20 years of experience in advising on all aspects of immigration, settlement and residency law. We advise on, and provide a comprehensive service for, all types of residency and help our clients to get a foothold in Austria.
