EU sanctions, which also apply in Austria, include entry and transit bans for listed individuals as well as the freezing of their accounts and assets in EU banks. Directly or indirectly making funds or assets available to listed persons is prohibited.
According to the official EU source, the sanctions regime can restrict both a person’s movement and access to funds in the European banking system. This is particularly relevant to people planning relocation who need to verify their status and arrange accounts, transfers and transit through EU countries. The main impact falls on listed individuals and entities and on anyone conducting transactions on their behalf. It is worth checking before relocation or using European bank accounts because the sanctions are regularly reviewed and may change.
