Expat Service Vorarlberg – Your Partner in Supporting International Talent
Expat Service Vorarlberg was founded in March 2023 to support expats who have chosen to move to Vorarlberg, work here, and build a life, whether for a short or extended period. Being far from home can be challenging, but we’re here to help – be it with bureaucratic hurdles or social challenges. Our goal is clear: we aim to create a vibrant community where expats can make friends, discover Vorarlberg, ask questions, and receive support in their daily lives.
Simplifying Bureaucracy – For a Smooth Transition
The administrative tasks involved in relocating to a new country can often be overwhelming, and may even deter some from making the move. While we cannot eliminate these tasks entirely, we can certainly make them easier. By working closely with employers and local authorities, we provide tailored support, such as assistance with applying for the Red-White-Red Card or other legal matters, to ensure a smooth transition for international employees.
Focusing on the Whole Family
Many expats don’t come alone – they bring their partners, children, and sometimes even their pets. We understand that family is key to a successful relocation, which is why we also support expats’ partners in finding jobs and help with finding suitable schools for their children. A comfortable home is essential for well-being, and we’re happy to assist expats in finding the right housing environment to help them settle in quickly.
Creating Connections: Because People Need People
One of the biggest challenges for expats is forming social connections in a new country with a different culture and language. Loneliness can lead expats to return home prematurely, despite good career opportunities. Employers can only do so much to assist with social integration, and that’s where we step in. We organise regular events, from casual after-work meet-ups to cultural and sports activities, tailored specifically for expats and their families. Our goal is to create valuable connections between expats and locals.
In addition to social activities, we offer workshops and information sessions to introduce expats to the unique aspects of Vorarlberg and local institutions. Without a doubt, Vorarlberg has much to offer – and we help employees discover it!

Claudia and Jakob have themselves lived as expats in various countries and have experienced the daily challenges of living in a foreign land. We are happy to assist you.
