Austria to Crackdown on Foreigners Staying & Skiing in its Resorts Illegally 2nd February 2021

It follows a series of raids in St Anton that revealed widespread abuse. The Interior Minister has now said the government will ‘intensify controls’. Local Austrians have welcomed the move as some general restrictions in Austria are eased from Monday 8th February.
It seems some foreign skiers and snowboarders are using loopholes in the country’s coronavirus lockdown to travel to ski in the country’s ski resorts.
Ones that are citizens of an EU country simply register as looking for work, and then do no such thing but go skiing instead.
