For Expats
Expat Service Vorarlberg
Expat Service Vorarlberg was founded in March 2023 to support expats who have decided to come to Vorarlberg, work here, and build a life for the short or long term. Being far from home can be challenging. We’re here to help – whether it’s with bureaucratic hurdles or social integration. Our mission is clear: we aim to create a vibrant community where you can make new friends, discover Vorarlberg, ask questions, and get support in your daily life.
The administrative steps associated with moving to a new country can often feel overwhelming. While we cannot eliminate these tasks entirely, we can certainly make them much easier. By working closely with employers and local authorities, we offer personalised support, such as assistance with applying for the Red-White-Red Card or other legal matters, ensuring a smooth transition for you.
Considering the whole family
Many of you have not come to Vorarlberg alone but have brought your entire family, and sometimes even your pets. We understand that family is key to a successful relocation. That’s why we also support your partner in settling into Vorarlberg and help find suitable childcare for your children. A comfortable home is essential for well-being, and we are happy to assist you in finding the right living environment so you can settle in quickly.
Building connections: Because people need people
One of the biggest challenges in a new country with a different culture and language is making new social connections and finding friends. That’s why we regularly organise events, from informal after-work meetups to cultural and sports activities specifically designed for you and your family. Alongside social activities, we also offer workshops and informational sessions to help you discover the unique aspects of Vorarlberg and local institutions or support you in learning the German language. Vorarlberg undoubtedly has a lot to offer – and we’re here to help you explore it!
Our team
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.
