You have 4 weeks after registering your residence ("Meldezettel") to register/import the vehicle. Violation of this guideline may result in the removal of your license plate. Further information

Uni Graz staff can apply for a parking permit at the university campus, the application takes place once a year. There is no entitlement to a parking space as a staff member.
