Do I need to have a valid return ticket when entering Austria on visa type D?

Accepted answer

No. There is no specific requirement to hold a valid return ticket even for a short-term visit. The requirement is simply to have the means to leave the Schengen area. The idea that a return ticket is required is a widespread misconception.

It's possible in theory for the Austrian authorities to impose a special requirement on your individual visa, in which case they would inform you and probably note it on the visa itself. This is exceedingly unlikely since the visa would be granted for your stated intention of moving permanently to Austria.
