Belong Austria

Austrian citizenship takes years. Belong Austria keeps the count honest, from today to the day you can apply.

Answer a few questions about your situation and Belong Austria shows your real distance to Austrian citizenship: which route applies to you, what you have already met and what still stands between you and the decision.

YOUR ROUTE, CLEARLY The ten year standard route, the six year route for strong integration, B2 German or B1 plus sustained community work, and the six year route for the spouse of an Austrian citizen

Every requirement explained: lawful uninterrupted residence, a settled residence status, German at level B1, the Staatsbürgerschaftsprüfung, a secure livelihood and an irreproachable record

Each rule dated and sourced from the official authorities: the Staatsbürgerschaftsgesetz, the BMI and your provincial citizenship office. Rules as of September 2026

THE PASSPORT AT THE END The document your road leads to, on its own tab: the real cover in colour, with validity, fee, where to apply and dual citizenship, checked with the authorities and linked to the source

Add your name and photo and it carries them as the holder's, with a line saying when you could apply, at the earliest

TRAIN FOR THE REAL TEST 454 questions for the Staatsbürgerschaftsprüfung in the regulation's own chapters, five a day, with a mistakes deck and a progress screen

A mock at the real sitting's pace. Six of the 18 real questions are on your own Bundesland, which this app does not write, so the mock asks the 12 it can and gives you a score, not a verdict

Written by Belong Austria from the official subject areas, not by the BMI. In German, with an English study line

WHAT'S COMING The dates ahead, on your dashboard: the day your residence time is complete, a rule taking effect, a document about to expire. Optional alerts, a handful a year, never a stream of noise

YOUR DOCUMENTS, ON YOUR IPHONE Attach the evidence for each requirement and note when it expires. Documents stay on your iPhone, encrypted by iOS while it is locked. Belong Austria never uploads them and never sees them

TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log trips abroad and see honestly whether time away could restart your residence clock. More than 20 percent of your required period abroad can, and Belong Austria says so before it surprises you

Try a What if scenario, pass a test, marry, spend months abroad, and see how your finish line would move. The real rules on a copy, nothing is saved

WHAT YOU CONTROL, WHAT YOU DON'T The years you build, the tests you pass and the record you keep are yours. Your province's queue is not: processing times vary widely. Belong Austria separates your side from the wait, so you always know which is which

THE RULES MAY MOVE Dual citizenship is generally not allowed: you give up your previous nationality before the award. A reform is announced, B2 German and a citizenship course, but none of it is law yet. Belong Austria reflects the rules as they stand today

COMING UP Immigration and citizenship news with The Local Austria is in the works, filtered to Austria and delivered inside the app. A Belong Austria account, one subscription across iPhone and web, arrives in Q4 2026

HONEST BY DESIGN No fake finish dates. Belong Austria tells you what is in your hands, what is not and what the next step is. It is a tracker, not legal advice. Always verify your case with your provincial citizenship office or a qualified lawyer. Questions or feedback: hello@belongeurope.com
