" I have lived and worked in Vienna since last October. I am a bit illegal, however. I have checked the local US consulate''s website for information on living here and getting a work permit, but I am wondering if anyone else has been through this and has any advice for me. I have a good job, working for an international company, but they are starting to get antsy about the fact that I''m not legal. Any tips? Thanks, Kurt "

It would worry me if your company is international, but doesn't know how to deal with international workers. The (somewhat) international company I work for got me a work visa by sponsering me. I assume your company can do the same, but you would probably have to leave the country first and come back to do things legally. Once you're in the black, I don't think there's any way to become legal.

I know what you mean....Austria is difficult. I will be going there in the spring and trying to get ajob. I do know that Austrian employers quite often preffer illegal workers because the law there says that all employers must pay health insurice for their employees. So working illegally has advantages there. Fines are stiff, so you would have to work out a plan to cover your butt (and his) maybe go to a border and renter as a tourist.
