Citizenship by Exceptional Achievement
DiscretionaryDoes this service lead to residence, settlement or citizenship?
Citizenship application: Exceptional naturalisation for achievements already delivered, and expected in future, that serve Austria’s particular national interest.
How does this application work?
Prepare an exceptional-achievement case for the competent citizenship authority. The competent ministries assess the national-interest contribution and Federal Government confirmation is required. The citizenship authority then deals with the grant conditions. There is no purchase-and-passport application sequence.
Who is eligible for this route?
Outstanding achievement substantially above the norm, assessed individually and confirmed by the Federal Government. Wealth or a passive investment alone is insufficient.
What documents and financial commitments are required?
A documented record of achievement, a credible future contribution and the applicable character and security evidence. No official fixed investment price or guaranteed approval applies.
What status or rights does this route provide?
A possible grant of Austrian citizenship, the exceptional-achievement framework can permit retention of an existing nationality.
