Why people move from Austria to the UK now
Career growth, world‑class universities, and a vibrant business scene keep drawing families and professionals to the UK. English makes settling in simpler, salaries can be attractive in finance, tech, and creative industries, and international networks open fast. Daily flights and short travel times keep Vienna, Graz, or Salzburg within easy reach for weekends.
Top pull factors
- Global job market with strong demand in tech, finance, healthcare, research, and the arts.
- Renowned universities and research hubs for both students and academics.
- Language immersion for children and adults, plus broad international communities.
- Direct connections and similar time zones that make cross‑border family life workable.
- Rich culture: museums, festivals, green parks, and coastal escapes.
Brexit added paperwork, but with preparation and a reliable mover, the path is clear.
Quick timeline: 6 weeks to moving day
Week 6–5
- Choose your visa route and confirm job or study dates via UK visas and immigration.

Visas and the right to live in the UK
Post‑Brexit, most Austrian citizens need a visa to study or work. If you already hold settled or pre‑settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you can live and work in the UK; check or prove your status here: View and prove your immigration status. Otherwise, start with the main hub pages on UK visas and immigration.

Tip: Processing times vary by route and season. Book movers after you understand your likely visa window. We can still handle Last Minute Moving if your start date shifts.
Customs and tax relief for personal goods
You are moving goods from the EU to Great Britain, so customs rules apply. Many households qualify for Transfer of Residence relief (ToR) when relocating their normal home and importing used personal belongings.
What ToR usually involves
- Read HMRC guidance: Transfer of Residence to Great Britain.
- Prepare a valued inventory of household goods, with make/model for high‑value items.
- Gather proofs that you lived outside GB and are moving your normal home to GB, plus evidence items are for personal use.
- Complete the online ToR application and keep the reference. Share it with your mover before collection.
- Keep copies of passports, visa status, tenancy or property contracts, and transport booking details.
What ToR does not cover
- Excise goods such as large quantities of alcohol or tobacco generally do not qualify for ToR relief. See HMRC guidance in the link above for exceptions.
Prohibited and restricted items
- Firearms and ammunition require strict permissions.
- Certain food, plant, and animal products face controls. Check current rules: Bringing goods into the UK.
- Items made from endangered species may require CITES permits. See CITES: import and export of protected species.
Special notes
- Rules for Northern Ireland differ in places. If your delivery address is in NI, read Moving your personal belongings to Northern Ireland.
- If you are importing a car or motorcycle, additional approvals and taxes may apply. See Importing vehicles into the UK.
Austrian side
- For deregistration, residence formalities, and certificates you may need before departure, use the Austrian government portal oesterreich.gv.at for up‑to‑date steps.
Customs‑ready checklist to hand your crew
- ToR approval reference and your contact details.
- Valued inventory with box numbers and room labels.
- Copies of passports and UK address proof for delivery.
- Any permits for restricted items or special materials.
Once ToR is approved and your inventory is ready, we coordinate clearance and keep you updated with live GPS tracking from collection to delivery.
Packing, protection, and item bans
Your shipment’s safety lives in the details. We wrap furniture, guard edges, and stabilise sofas and wardrobes for long road miles. Use professional materials and a clear, room‑coded system so nothing goes missing.
Materials checklist
- Double‑walled boxes in small, medium, large
- Wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes
- Picture cartons or art crates with corner protectors
- Bubble wrap, foam sheets, kraft paper, acid‑free tissue for fine finishes
- Mattress and sofa covers, stretch wrap, carpet protectors
- Heavy‑duty tape, fragile tape, tamper labels
- Permanent markers and box labels; QR stickers for digital inventory
Smart packing rules
- Heavy items in small boxes, light items in large boxes.
- Fill voids with soft padding to prevent crush damage.
- Mark fragile on at least two sides and the top.
- Photograph high‑value items before packing.
- Keep cables in labelled zip bags taped to the device.
- Books spines down, rows alternated to avoid bowing.
- Plates vertical in dish boxes with foam between.
Pro care for tricky items
- Art and mirrors: Corner protectors, glass face taped in X, then bubble and carton or crate.
- TVs and monitors: Original box is best. Otherwise foam sheet, corner guards, and a screen‑safe carton. Never lay a TV flat.
- Glass furniture: Edge‑guard, foam wrap, and custom carded faces. Label upright side.
- Mattresses: Use breathable covers. Avoid trapping moisture; let air out after delivery.
- Wardrobes and drawers: Remove loose shelves. Tape drawers shut only after surface protection.
- Appliances: Drain and dry 24 hours before loading. Secure drums on washing machines.
What not to pack
- Perishables, open liquids, aerosols, flammables, pressurised containers, and paint.
- Soil, many plants, and some animal products may be restricted. Always verify rules here: Bringing goods into the UK.
- Items made from protected species may need permits. See CITES guidance.
Labelling that speeds unloading
- Format example:
KITCHEN | 12 of 24 | Fragile | Cupboards A–B - Place labels on two sides and the top; add a colour dot per room.
- Optional: QR code that links to your inventory list and photos.
Need a hands‑off move? Add Packing Services or White Glove Delivery for museum‑grade care and condition reporting.
Loading‑day choreography
- Pre‑brief with the crew and walk the route. Protect floors and door frames.
- Load room by room. Start with boxed goods, then furniture, then protected artwork.
- Use straps and load bars to lock items in place. Heavy at the base, light up high.
- Final sweep of each room, meter photos, and seal check before departure.
Vehicle options, capacity, and what to choose
VANonsite gives you the exact size for your volume, so you never overpay for empty space. If you are unsure, we help estimate from your inventory and photos.
| Vehicle | Approx. Volume | Max Payload | Typical boxes | Example loads |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moving Basic | 5 m³ | 300 kg | 20–30 | Student room, essentials, TV and a few suitcases |
| Moving Medium | 10 m³ | 600 kg | 40–60 | Studio or compact 1‑bed, sofa, bed frame, 1 wardrobe |
| Moving Premium | 15 m³ | 1,000 kg | 60–90 | 1–2 bed apartment, white goods, dining set, bikes |
| Moving Premium Plus | 30 m³ | 3,500 kg | 120–180 | 2–3 bed home, wardrobes, desks, garden tools |
| Moving Full House XXL | 90 m³ | 20,000 kg | 350+ | Large family home, piano, outdoor furniture, bulk storage |
How to estimate your volume
- 1‑bed flat usually ranges between 10–15 m³.
- 2‑bed flat often needs 15–25 m³.
- 3‑bed home may require 30 m³ or more.
Quick decision guide
- Add up your m³. If you are within 10 percent of a band, choose the larger size for safer stacking.
- Check building access. Narrow streets or low car parks may require a shuttle van or split load.
- Consider payload. Books, tools, ceramics, and gym equipment add weight quickly.
- Factor in extras like bikes, outdoor furniture, or a piano that need extra protection space.
Access and parking reality check
- Provide street width, floor number, lift size, and distance to door. Photos help us right‑size.
- For busy city centres, we schedule off‑peak arrivals and arrange permits where possible.
- London may involve ULEZ or congestion fees. Tell us the exact postcode so we can plan accurately.
Real‑world scenarios
- Couple in a 1‑bed in Vienna: 12 m³ with 70 boxes and a sofa. Choose Moving Premium.
- Family of four from Graz: 28–32 m³ including wardrobes and bikes. Choose Moving Premium Plus or a split load if access is tight.
- Full‑house relocation near Salzburg: 80–90 m³ with garden gear and a piano. Choose Full House XXL and white‑glove handling for instruments.
Share your inventory and we will right‑size the truck. You will also see live progress with GPS tracking on every load.
Realistic costs, quotes, and how to save
Relocation cost depends on distance, volume, access, and services. Transparent pricing prevents surprises, so we separate labour, packing, materials, road tolls, ferries or Eurotunnel, and any storage. Every quote is itemised, easy to compare, and tailored to your pickup and delivery addresses.
What drives the price
- Volume and payload: higher m³ and heavier loads require larger vehicles and more crew hours.
- Distance and route: Austria to UK corridors often include motorway tolls and channel fees.
- Access: long carries, stair‑only buildings, or shuttle vans increase labour time.
- Services: full packing, furniture disassembly, white‑glove handling, and timed delivery windows add precision and care.
- Seasonality: late summer and year‑end are popular. Early booking keeps rates predictable.
Before numbers, choose your style of move.
Good, Better, Best packages
- Good – Economy: self‑pack, curbside to room delivery, basic protection, crew handles load and unload, no assembly.
- Better – Standard: partial pack for kitchen and fragile items, door‑to‑room placement, basic furniture disassembly and reassembly, debris sweep.
- Best – Premium: full packing and unpacking, white‑glove handling for artwork and high‑value pieces, full assembly, timed pickup and delivery, debris removal.
Here is how typical scenarios compare. Use it to sense‑check your volume and service level, then request a written quote.
| Scenario | Approx. volume | Suggested vehicle | Crew size | Typical inclusions | Usual road transit* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Student or micro move Vienna to London | 5–8 m³ | Moving Basic | 1–2 | Load, unload, basic protection, curbside to room | 2–3 days |
| 1‑bed apartment Salzburg to Manchester | 12–15 m³ | Moving Premium | 2 | Partial pack for fragile items, door‑to‑room placement | 2–4 days |
| 2–3 bed home Graz to Birmingham | 25–32 m³ | Moving Premium Plus | 2–3 | Furniture disassembly, protection, staged delivery if needed | 3–5 days |
| Full‑house Vienna to Greater London | 70–90 m³ | Full House XXL | 3–4 | Full packing, white‑glove for art, assembly, debris removal | 4–6 days |
*Transit times reflect road schedules and customs windows and are not a promise of exact dates. Your coordinator will confirm precise plans in writing.
Ways to optimise your budget
- Declutter before packing. Sell or donate bulky items you rarely use.
- Choose weekday pickup if your dates are flexible. Avoid peak city hours when possible.
- Reserve lifts and loading bays to reduce crew waiting time.
- Consider split delivery with short‑term Storage if your UK home is not ready on the same day.
- Self‑pack non‑fragiles and let us pack only glass, art, and electronics.
- Share accurate photos and a list of heavy items. The right truck and crew prevent extra trips.
Quote checklist
- Pickup and delivery postcodes, floor numbers, lift access.
- Approximate m³, special items, and any parking restrictions.
- Preferred week for pickup and delivery, and your flexibility window.
- Which services you want: packing, disassembly, storage, white‑glove.

City notes for deliveries
Every UK city has its own rules, parking culture, and timing quirks. A little local know‑how prevents tickets, delays, and extra carries.
London
- Request parking suspensions or bay reservations with the borough in advance. Some areas need several working days of notice.
- Check if your route passes through ULEZ or the Congestion Charge zone. Give us the exact postcode so we can plan the least costly route.
- Watch Red Routes and bus lanes during peak times. We often schedule early morning arrivals to avoid restrictions.
- Many blocks require service lift bookings and security sign‑in. Share building management contacts and loading bay height limits.
Oxford and Cambridge
- Historic cores have narrow streets and time‑restricted access windows. Early morning slots work best for clean, quick unloads.
- Colleges and labs can have controlled access points. Provide gatehouse details and any delivery references.
- Parking is scarce in Controlled Parking Zones. Arrange a permit or plan a short carry from a legal bay.
Manchester and Birmingham
- Busy centres with ongoing works can change access patterns. Lift bookings and clear concierge contacts help speed the day.
- Some clean air or traffic management measures may affect routes for certain vehicles. We optimise the approach to keep costs predictable.
- New‑build apartments often have underground car parks with tight turns. Measure height and width for safe entry or plan a street‑level unload.
Edinburgh and Glasgow
- Tenement stairs and steep streets can limit large vehicle access. We may use a smaller shuttle van for door‑to‑door efficiency.
- Low Emission Zones apply in both cities. Share the exact address and we will plan compliant routing and parking.
- Councils often require parking suspensions for curbside unloads near the centre. Lead time helps secure the best spot.
Quick city planning table
| City | Best arrival window | Common constraints | Helpful prep |
|---|---|---|---|
| London | Early morning | ULEZ, Congestion Charge, Red Routes, service lift bookings | Borough parking suspension, loading bay dimensions |
| Oxford, Cambridge | Before 9 a.m. or mid‑afternoon | Time‑restricted historic streets, limited bays | Controlled Parking Zone permit, gatehouse contact |
| Manchester, Birmingham | Morning to early afternoon | Construction diversions, tight underground car parks | Concierge contact, lift booking, vehicle height check |
| Edinburgh, Glasgow | Morning | Steep streets, LEZ compliance, tenement stairs | Parking suspension request, shuttle plan for narrow streets |
What to expect on moving day
Moving day flows best when everyone knows the sequence. Here is how a typical day unfolds from first knock to final handshake.
Before arrival
- Clear hallways and reserve a parking spot if possible. Keep pets and children safe in a separate room.
- Set aside passports, keys, and your essentials kit. Leave out a basic toolkit and cleaning supplies.
Arrival and protection
- Crew briefing, building walk‑through, and floor protection. We pad door frames and guard corners in high‑traffic areas.
- Quick inventory review to confirm priorities and fragile items.
Loading sequence
- Boxes first, then disassembled furniture, then protected artwork and mirrors.
- Each box is scanned or counted against the manifest. Large items are wrapped, strapped, and stacked with heavy at the base.
In transit
- You receive road updates and live GPS tracking. If traffic or weather shifts, your coordinator adjusts routing.
- For multi‑day routes, we confirm the next day’s ETA by evening so you can plan access at the destination.
Delivery and placement
- Access check, lift pads in place, and a quick walk‑through of room labels.
- Unload by room. Beds, sofa, and essential appliances are reassembled first so the space becomes usable fast.
- Debris sweep and removal of packing materials unless you prefer to keep boxes for a later unpack.
Sign‑off and aftercare
- Final box count, condition notes, and placement confirmation.
- Any snag items are logged with photos and a simple follow‑up plan.
What can delay the day
- No parking or last‑minute lift issues
- Long carries over 30–50 metres without trolleys allowed
- Unlisted heavy or oversized items that need extra crew
- Missing keys or access codes at delivery
Share any concerns with us up front and we will build in solutions so the day stays calm and efficient.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book? 2–4 weeks is ideal. Last‑minute slots are often available.
Can I ship food or plants? Avoid perishables and check restrictions. Plants may face biosecurity rules.
Do you offer packing only? Yes. See our Packing Services.
Can you store items in the UK first? Yes. Ask about flexible Storage with rapid re‑delivery.
Which EU country is easiest to move to from the UK? Ireland is usually the simplest because British and Irish citizens have special rights under the Common Travel Area. You can live, work, study, and access services in Ireland without a visa. See the government guidance on the CTA here: Common Travel Area: rights of UK and Irish citizens and the Irish government overview here.
How hard is it to move to the UK from the EU? Since Brexit, most EU citizens need a visa to live and work in the UK. The process is straightforward if you meet the route’s rules and prepare documents early. Common options include the Skilled Worker visa, Student visa, Family visas, and Global Talent. Irish citizens do not need a visa because of the CTA. If you already hold status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you can continue living and working in the UK.
Is it easy to move to Austria from the UK? It can be smooth with the right permit. UK nationals are third‑country nationals in Austria and typically apply for the Red‑White‑Red Card or EU Blue Card depending on job offer and skills. Start on Austria’s official portal migration.gv.at and review permanent immigration options. If you apply in the UK, see the Austrian Embassy London guidance.
How much money do you need to have to move to the UK? It depends on your visa. As a guide:
- Skilled Worker: your job must usually pay £41,700 or more unless a specific going rate applies. You may need to show £1,270 in savings unless your sponsor certifies maintenance, plus visa fees and the Immigration Health Surcharge. See Your job and Costs.
- Student: you must show living costs for up to 9 months: £1,483 per month in London or £1,136 per month outside London, plus tuition funds and the IHS at the student rate. See Student visa: money and IHS rates.
- Family (partner) visa: most applicants must meet a minimum income of £29,000 a year or use cash savings under the rules. See Family visa financial requirement.
Can EU citizens still move to the UK? Yes, but most need a visa unless they are Irish citizens or already have status under the EU Settlement Scheme. Explore routes on UK visas and immigration and check your digital status here: View and prove your immigration status.
What is a golden visa? It is a residency route offered by some countries to people who invest a set amount of money. The UK’s investor route was closed to new applicants in 2022. See the official announcement: Tier 1 Investor route closes. Several EU countries have tightened or ended their golden visas in recent years. Always check the latest rules on each government’s site before you plan.
