Campaign calls for Austrian citizenship at birth for children of long-term foreign residents

What this means if you want to work there

A new campaign in Austria calls for automatic citizenship at birth for children born to long-term foreign residents. Right now, being born in Austria does not give a child citizenship automatically. This proposal affects foreign nationals who have lived legally in the country for several years. It does not change the current rules for adults moving to Austria for work today. If you are planning a move or already working there with your family, you should keep your personal documents updated and organized.
