Questions to ask by roberto23
Hi, all -- I'm considering a job offer in Vienna, and would love advice about any questions I should ask that wouldn't be obvious to someone who has never lived in Austria or the EU. I know, for instance, that many employers offer supplementary ...
Thanks, Eva. As it turns out, after all this research I wound up turning down my offer in Vienna in favor of another position. Thank you, though. Read More
Vienna neighborhoods and bilingual schools by roberto23
Hello -- I have been offered a job (!) and expect to move to Vienna with my family shortly. I'm considering enrolling my son, 11, in one of the bilingual middle schools (Wiener Mittelschule). I'll be working downtown. Are any of you familiar with ...
Hi -- No idea if this is an option for you, but have you considered the possibility of home-schooling? There are several international home-schooling programs that offer teaching support, lots of online material, fully developed curricula, etc. My ... Read More
Living, traveling with dogs in Vienna by roberto23
Hi, all -- I'm considering a possible job in Vienna. Along with the family, we'd be bringing our two dogs. Can anyone help with these questions: How dog-friendly is Vienna in general? Austria? Can dogs go on public transportation? Is it more ...
Thanks again for the advice. My dogs aren't big or dangerous -- the only risk to strangers is that they'll lick you. But I know what you mean. As a dog owner, it has always bugged me when other dog owners are irresponsible. It makes things tougher ... Read More

Thanks, again, Mimie. Your comments and links are very helpful. The discussion on the bilingual schools on the site you sent me does have a lot of older postings, but there are also some recent ones, and for someone like me who is unfamiliar with ... Read More

Hi, Mimie -- Thank you again. I have seen the maps; but distance isn't the only factor. For example, here in Phoenix I live 34 km from the city center (same as when I was in Toronto). Here, I can be downtown in 25 minutes. In Toronto, it took an ... Read More

Mimie -- This is fantastically helpful; I had been digging around but hadn't found anything about this on my own. I really appreciate the help. Thanks! Read More

Thanks again, Mimie. I'd be working downtown, near the Stephansplatz metro stop. But I don't know yet what neighborhoods I would look at for an apartment. Maybe this is a subject for a separate post, but I've been told that the quality of the ... Read More

Thanks, Mimie -- I am talking to the company, of course; but I'm also doing this research on my own. The U.S. has a bilateral treaty with Austria exempting certain types of jobs from social insurance payments, which then of course reduces the ... Read More
Hi...Can someone help and give me some advise please???? by KermitLA11
I currently have a job with a US based company but working from the UK. My sister is going to be moving to Arizona university for a semester next year (Sept 聳 Jan) We would like to rent an apartment and go over together, can anyone tell me how I ...
Hi -- Whatever you do, make sure you get a proper visa for your stay. If you're British, you can stay up to six months on a tourist visa; but you can't work for pay on a tourist visa. And if you get caught working on a tourist visa, you'll lose your ... Read More

Thanks, Vedrana. That's helpful. No, I don't have any special health concerns -- but I just like to understand how the system works. In Canada, for instance, health care is nationalized, and provided to all residents automatically; but dental care ... Read More
