Same Austria story — no formal DNV; Selbstständig path is discretionary. Linz's tech-industry weight makes employer-sponsored Red-White-Red Card relevant.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
