What is Integration Agreement Module 2 and why is it required for Long-Term Residence – EU?

Austria's Integration Agreement is structured in modules. Module 1 covers basic language and orientation and is linked to earlier residence titles, while Module 2 represents a more advanced level of German and of understanding the fundamental values and everyday life of Austrian society.

For the Long-Term Residence – EU permit, completing Module 2 is mandatory. It signals that, alongside five years of residence, you have reached a level of integration consistent with durable, long-term settlement. Planning your language progression toward Module 2 well before year five helps keep this pathway on schedule.
