To be honest it would be nice to have our access to the sea back. It would have been so much easier going to the beach during the travel restriction part, because of the bat soup virus. So: Dear Italy, we want south Tyrol back, and a bit more Mediterranean sea access. Why do you want the people of southern Tyrol anyways, they all are technically Austrians, but are a bit fussy about it. They'd rather govern themselves, independently from Italy.

There isn't many of us (like 10,000) so it has been a nightmare trying to get the bureaucracy to get the correct boxes to tick (dozens of people got their child benefit cancelled simply because the system couldn't recognise the legal status for instance). We are basically still EU Citizens in Austria, but covered under a different treaty. We are getting lot's of rule book says no, followed by months of legal arguments, followed by three months of silence. It's hard work being legally weird in Austria!!!

Tips to blend in and pretend you're a fellow Austrian living in Vienna by an Austrian: -never stop complaining, about absolutely anything -use the word "oida" excessively -be arrogant about being Austrian even though we don't have much to be proud of or arrogant about and you know it -be polite but still condescending, let others subtly know you have a small superiority complex -between Austria, Germany and Switzerland you have to insist that Austria is the greatest even if you don't believe it yourself; hate the country but still defend it in the Austria vs Germany vs Switzerland debate -curse in weird but creative ways -drink a lot, water and/or beer -eat Austrian chocolate cause it's really good -even if you're abroad order yourself a Schnitzel cause you're scared of new things and change -throw in some dialect words occasionally to let them know you're cultured and don't only speak high German -open the windows, fresh air can heal all wounds -mumble, we are too lazy to properly pronounce our complicated words so cut out the Es in verbs (gehen --> geh'n) -be reserved and quiet with strangers but when you're with your close friends be annoyingly loud in public -blame others for your problems, always -be politically right wing and conservative if you're older, if you're younger you can try out the left -have a dark sense of humour (but know the difference between dark humour and insensitivity, bullying or discrimination!! Dark humour mostly targets the oppressor, not the oppressed) -be sarcastic I'm obviously kidding. If you're actually born in a different country then don't hide your cultural differences. Old people here can be quite racist but be yourself. Teenager are typically more embracing

@@keo8380 Good to know, I am also thinking about getting it but the compulsory service definitely makes waiting a few years the better choice.

And be careful, the viennese department MA35 (immigration department) tends to fuck up the folks (by being racists, hiding themself, ignoring you, asking you for the form A38 and so on). So it may be less stressful to get the Austrian citizenship in Lower Austria or another Austrian federal state.

2 additional relevant information: - compulsary civil/military service is up to 35 years. So if you are male and want to get the Austrian citizenship you should do that at an age of 36+ - Austria does not allow dual-citizenship

I thought this video goes more in the sarcastic way, but also well done :)

Been working in Tirol for 5 years now, and people are so warm and understanding...Ive learned "tirolerisch Dialekt" and i find it very funny and interesting...thank you Austria for everything, if i could i would be honored to be an Austrian citizen...Much love from Croatia to my austrian brothers

Weeell, you have to renew the residence permit a few times until you get the permanent one (which, realistically, you need to get to your years). My wife goes through the process and I have to say it is not toooo bad of a process. The authorities were always very helpful and reasonably quick with their decisions. Most of the time delays seem to be due to missing documents on the applicants side. (how hard can it be to just provide things on a list?!) That was before Corona in vienna though, the responsiveness seems to have worsened apparently. Btw marriage does not entitle to neither a residence permit nor citizenship.

I'm thankful that you acknowledged how hard it would have been for you to acquire the citizenship hadn't you been born an Austrian. Even if you spend the time to learn German (as your third language), finish a degree in an Austrian university, work in a necessary field, and pay taxes for a couple of years, it's still difficult for the country to accept you and grant you the citizenship. I believe that not many people recognize how privileged they are just for being born in the right place at the right time.

Danke, Oida!

Oh boy, can't wait! I'm going to become a painter over there!

Yayyy I got my Austrian passport three years ago, as a non-EEA immigrant. It was beaurocratic but totally possible. The entire application process took exactly 12 months, so it's really not that bad. Good luck!

Some insider jokes, foreigners wouldn't understand. And some words are completely different as there aren't any terms for them in English (and not even in German). The Austro-Bavarian version is overall more humorous, but most jokes just don't work in other languages and cultures, except for maybe in Swiss German.

"You need to renounce your old citizenship" *shows flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the background* Me: "Yup, checks out from a reality point of view"

I'll just become an Australian instead. Close enough.

Like the AMS logo (I used to work for them ).

That ending had me laugh like a mad man. Love it.

How to be Austrian in general; - whine about everything but be too lazy to do something about it. - be completely complacant about the political system, regardless of how corrupt it is. Meanwhile in France cars burn if a minister coughs the wrong way - Have an opinion about beer. And this opinion must not be neutral or diplomatic. - Same applies to football. - Regardless of where you are, the local dialect is the best, every other one is worse. And vienna dialect is the worst. Except if you are in Vienna. Then you are the best and everyone is else a mumbling rural idiot. - When talking with foreigners, praise the social and healthcare system and all its benefits. When talking with locals, complain about waiting times and bureaucracy. - Paying an actual tax directly to the Catholic Church is normal and many won't question that. No, you don't get any benefits. - When talking about the past, completely ignore the wars we started or participated in and focus on the glorious day of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. - Germans are by default 'awful', or in Austrian-speak 'Piefke'. Not any German in particular, we like the individuals. Just Germans in general. Especially when they use different words. Oh and except for Bavaria. - Our national TV (ORF) is the worst in too many ways to write down in a single comment. - Your driving skills are judged solely based on your license plate number, your age and if you're a woman (and if so, your hair color) - Cyclists: Car drivers are the worst || Car drivers: Cyclists are the worst || Car drivers + cyclists: I don't like the trucks a lot but they are okay. || Pedestrians: You all suck.

I am from Vietnam and have lived 2,5 years in Austria. I just finished Austrian gymnasium (AHS) and have a German B2 certificate (ÖSD), so for example, if I study at a university for 3,5 years more (which will be 6 years in total), then can I already apply for citizenship?

It still needs to get harder in the future, Austria is a great country to live in and too many people want to live here. To remain our identity and quality of living we need to select the people , who want to determine our future.

Let's go, now I can accomplish my dream of being an artist

I easily qualified for the citizenship without any problems, and even then it still took me 4 years of collecting documents and 2 years of going through the application process at the Austrian authorities to finally recieve my citizenship and passport. My mom, who is a stay-at-home parent, barely got hers because she couldn't prove her stay for a period of time (since she didn't have an official job, was healthy and didn't have to go to the doctor, didn't have a library card etc. - all things that could've proved her stay). Even though the process is so long and difficult, there are still Austrian politicians who demand the minimum residency time to be changed to 25 years to apply for the citizenship.

FINALLY I CAN GO TO ART SCHOOL AND HOPEFULLY GET ACCEPTED
