Are you planning to move to Austria because of a professional assignment or for private reasons? The challenges are always the same:  many visits to authorities, the search for a suitable accommodation, to find a school for the children, the car import, the transfer of the driver’s license and much more. For the successful completion you need competent advice and a partner in Austria who guides you through this process.

We at RANDOS successfully accompany corporate and private clients with empathy, competence and a solution-oriented approach.
