# Austria to Anchor Integration Map in New Law

October 25, 2026 at 12:02 PM

> The Austrian government is reviewing a new Integration Act that mandates data-driven monitoring and mandatory courses for asylum seekers.

The **Austrian** government is reviewing a new Integration Act that introduces an annual Integration Map based on a Danish model. **Neos** leader **Yannick Shetty** confirmed the map will be anchored in the law to identify successful integration and parallel societies.

The program targets asylum seekers with a high probability of staying, offering German and values courses immediately upon registration. Using data from **Statistics Austria** and the AMS, officials will create individual plans subject to regular monitoring.

Failure to comply with the three pillars of German, values, and work can result in social assistance cuts or administrative fines. However, the **FPÖ** criticizes the map as expensive bureaucracy and warns that early course offerings act as a migration pull factor.
