About the Austria passport

The Austria passport ranks #3 globally with elite international mobility, granting visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 160 of 199 countries. Alongside Belgium and Denmark, it sits among the world's strongest travel documents. Holders cover 81% of the world without advance visa arrangements, placing them well above the global average. That figure breaks down as: 120 require no visa at all, 11 accept an electronic travel authorization, 29 offer visa on arrival.

Tax in Austria

Austria applies a top marginal income tax rate of 55% and a capital gains tax rate of 27.5%. The country operates a high tax regime, under which residents pay tax on worldwide income at high marginal rates. Those considering Austria for relocation should account for the high worldwide income tax exposure when structuring international income.
