#236 How well do u know ur rights as a foreigner in Austria? w/ Patrick Onyemaechi Kainz

19.10.2026

Austria is a pretty great place to live. Until you receive an official-looking letter in the post and suddenly feel like you've committed a crime you didn't know existed.In this episode, Jake sits down with Patrick, an Austrian lawyer specialising in immigration and employment law at Law and Beyond, who's made it his mission to explain complicated legal stuff in a way that doesn't require a law degree (or three coffees and a nervous breakdown).They get into the confusing, frustrating and sometimes downright absurd reality of navigating Austrian bureaucracy, particularly when you weren't born here.Here's what they get into:Divorce and residency: If you moved to Austria for love and the relationship ends, does that mean you have to pack your bags?Your rights at work: Can your employer force you to use up your holidays? Can they fire you without giving a reason? And what happens when your contract contradicts the law?Austrian citizenship: Why is it so difficult to become Austrian, what are the current requirements, and what changes might be coming?The dual citizenship dilemma: Why some internationals don't want to give up their original passport, even after building their entire lives in Austria.The Brexit situation: Why British residents have their own special immigration category in Austria, and what Article 50 actually means.The citizenship traps nobody talks about: How seemingly minor administrative fines can complicate an application.Three essential tips for internationals: What you can do now to protect your residency status and avoid nasty surprises later.Beyond the practical advice, Jake and Patrick also get into a bigger question: What does it mean to build a life in a country where you pay taxes, work, contribute to society, but don't necessarily get a say in how it's run?Whether you're planning to move to Austria, have been here for ten years, or simply want to know what your boss can and can't legally get away with, this episode is packed with information worth knowing.Because living in Austria shouldn't require a law degree. Although sometimes it bloody feels like it.Note: Legal requirements depend on your individual circumstances and can change.

In this episode, Jake sits down with Patrick, an Austrian lawyer specialising in immigration and employment law at Law and Beyond, who's made it his mission to explain complicated legal stuff in a way that doesn't require a law degree (or three coffees and a nervous breakdown).

They get into the confusing, frustrating and sometimes downright absurd reality of navigating Austrian bureaucracy, particularly when you weren't born here.

PART 2 AUS GRAZ! 💚

Nach unserem Steiermark-Crashkurs in Part 1 widmen wir uns diesmal den wirklich wichtigen Fragen.

Zum Beispiel: Kann ein Brot 60 Dollar wert sein?

Martin Auer hat in New York mit seinem Brotprojekt RYE eröffnet und plötzlich scheint wirklich jeder eine Meinung dazu zu haben. Also haben wir genau das gemacht, was man in so einer Situation tun muss: Wir haben Menschen aus Graz dazu gefragt.

Wie kommt ein 60-Dollar-Brot in der Steiermark an? Ist das genial, komplett absurd oder vielleicht sogar beides?

Und weil wir schon dabei waren, haben wir uns gefragt: Welche steirischen Dinge könnten wir eigentlich ebenfalls für 60 Dollar verkaufen?

Die Antworten waren erwartbar seriös.

Highlights der Folge:

🍞 Das 60-Dollar-Brot aus Graz
Wir sprechen über Martin Auer, RYE in New York und die wichtigste Frage überhaupt: Wie viel darf ein Brot kosten, bevor Österreich kollektiv nervös wird?

🎤 Graz hat Meinungen
Wir fragen unser Publikum, was es vom viralen Brot hält und bekommen ziemlich eindeutige Antworten.

💸 Was aus der Steiermark könnten wir noch für 60 Dollar verkaufen?
Wir haben eine Liste gemacht. Mehr wollen wir an dieser Stelle aus rechtlichen und geschmacklichen Gründen nicht verraten.

💩 Die Top 5 der grindigsten Tierkaka-Gerüche
Ja. Das ist tatsächlich ein Segment. Nein. Wir wissen auch nicht mehr genau, wie wir dort gelandet sind.

Viel Blödsinn, viel Publikum, viel Gelächter.

Gut. Echt. Steirisch.
Oder so ähnlich.

Das war Part 2 unseres Live-Podcasts aus Graz. ❤️

Ein riesiges Danke nochmal an Alex und Kristina Stegisch von DAS POD, die uns eingeladen und diesen Abend möglich gemacht haben.

Und weiter geht’s:

Big thanks to Ottakringer, Vienna’s independent beer brand, for sponsoring this episode and supporting our independent podcast. Cheers! 🍻

PART 2 FROM GRAZ! 💚

After our highly necessary Styria crash course in Part 1, this time we’re tackling the really important questions.

For example: Can a loaf of bread be worth 60 dollars?

Martin Auer opened RYE in New York and suddenly it seems like the entire internet has an opinion about it. So naturally, we asked the people of Graz.

How does a 60-dollar loaf of bread go down in Styria? Is it genius, completely ridiculous, or somehow both?

And while we were at it, we asked ourselves: What other famous Styrian things could we sell for 60 dollars?

The answers were, as always, extremely serious.

Highlights of the episode:

🍞 The 60-dollar bread from Graz
We talk Martin Auer, RYE in New York and the big question: how much can bread cost before Austria collectively starts to panic?

🎤 Graz has opinions
We ask our live audience what they think about the viral bread — and they do not hold back.

💸 What else from Styria could we sell for 60 dollars?
We made a list. For legal and culinary reasons, we’ll leave it at that.

💩 The Top 5 worst-smelling animal poops
Yes. This is a real segment. No. We’re not entirely sure how we got there either.

Lots of nonsense, lots of audience participation and a lot of laughing.

Good. Real. Styrian.
Or something like that.

That’s Part 2 of our live podcast from Graz. ❤️
