Portuguese in Austria (German: Portugiesen in Österreich) are citizens and residents of Austria who are of Portuguese descent.
Portuguese in Austria (also known as Portuguese Austrians/ Austrian–Portuguese Community or, in Portuguese, known as Portugueses na Áustria/ Comunidade portuguesa na Áustria/ Luso-austríacos) are the citizens or residents of Austria whose ethnic origins lie in Portugal.
Portuguese Austrians are Portuguese-born citizens with Austrian citizenship or Austrian-born citizens of Portuguese ancestry or citizenship.
There were 7,245 Portuguese people residing in Austria in 2021.[1] The Portuguese constitute approximately 0.08% of the country's population.[2] Portuguese tend not to acquire Austrian nationality – only 34 have done so since 2000 – because, in naturalising as Austrian citizens, they would be deprived of their Portuguese passport.[3]
