The Austrian government is to implement tougher asylum laws starting November. The new laws will include a "timed asylum" measure along with toughened family reunification rules.

The timed asylum measures will allow for three years of asylum where it is granted. Should the situation in the asylum seekers' home countries stabilize, the refugees will be required to return. Otherwise, the asylum status will be extended indefinitely.

The changed family reunification rules will mainly affect those who have not been granted asylum, but rather a temporary protection granted by Austria, if they are in danger in their home country.

Such individuals will now have to wait for three years to bring family to Austria, compared to a previous 12-month wait. They will also need to show proof of sufficient income to provide for their families.
