Introduction of the managing director
Mag. Christian Dopplmair
ERVICo supports international professionals, entrepreneurs, and companies in building a successful future in Austria.
The company was founded in 2020 by Christian Dopplmair, who spent many years working abroad and understands the challenges of international mobility from first-hand experience. Moving to a new country involves not only legal and administrative requirements, but also many practical questions related to integration, organization, and professional opportunities.
This is where ERVICo comes in.
We support Austrian companies in recruiting and integrating international talent, while also assisting private individuals and entrepreneurs in establishing themselves in Austria. A particular focus lies on the legally compliant application for residence permits for third-country nationals, especially the Red-White-Red Card, as well as guiding clients through the entire relocation process in a structured and efficient way.
For companies, this means a significant reduction of administrative workload for HR departments and a smoother integration of international employees. International professionals, in turn, benefit from clear guidance and an experienced partner who supports them throughout administrative procedures, interactions with authorities, and practical relocation matters.
In addition to relocation services, ERVICo also supports international entrepreneurs in establishing their businesses in Austria, from strategic preparation to company formation.
Since 2026, ERVICo has expanded its service portfolio to include international talent recruitment and strategic HR advisory services. This expansion is based on a cooperation with an internationally accredited HR consulting and training organization, enabling companies to benefit from internationally recognized HR standards.
Our goal is to make international mobility easier – for companies as well as for individuals building a new professional and personal future in Austria.
The Founder
Mag. Christian Dopplmair
Founder
Mag. Christian Dopplmair is the founder of ERVICo and brings more than 20 years of international business and management experience. After graduating in Social and Economic Sciences from the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna), he held several management positions at an internationally operating Austrian technology company with global production and sales locations.
In his final role with the company, he spent nearly ten years abroad as Managing Director of several international sales subsidiaries, gaining extensive experience in international markets and cross-border leadership.

His international management background and personal expatriate experience form the foundation of ERVICo’s practical and client-oriented advisory approach.
Ching Wong
Partner
Ching Wong brings an international perspective and personal relocation experience to ERVICo. Having grown up in Hong Kong—one of the world’s most international business and cultural hubs—she developed early exposure to diverse cultures and global environments.
Her own move to Europe introduced her to the practical and administrative challenges often associated with international relocation. These personal experiences played an important role in shaping the idea behind ERVICo.
Goals
For private customers
the motivation for migrating can be very different. On the one hand there might be some positive motivations like adventure, excitement or personal/professional development, on the other hand there are reasons, such as political or religious, that rather force individuals to leave their home country.
However, the transition to a new culture or society is not always immediate and smooth, typically there are teething problems and a period of disorientation as the environment is so different.
This is the reason why it is necessary to proceed very carefully in the cooperation with migrating individuals. As the transition process will not automatically succeed, the process needs to be managed. For this reason it may be advantageous to have a business partner by your side who knows how it feels to have moved abroad and which actions should be taken to become comfortable in a new culture and society (apart from the rather standardized procedures to get the necessary residence titles).
The target is always to make migrating people happy again, reaching their goal of migrating to a specific country and fulfilling the mostly very individual or even unique preferences of each customer, helping them to happily integrate into their new world.
For business customers
the target for business customers is not significantly different, as happy migrants usually start to perform much quicker. This way they are able to take over their designated responsibilities much quicker and with less friction.
Apart from that very important goal, the relief of these complex and atypical projects from a busy HR department is a significant plus. The outsourcing of this process to specialized organizations like ERVICo allow the embedding of these processes into a standardized procedure, this way helping to improve the efficiency and speed of the process.
But also the expatriates themselves (who might even be coming from a completely different culture, not knowing the usual procedures in the new country and sometimes not even the local language) shall be relieved from unnecessary responsibilities within their migration process, this way enabling them to concentrate on their designated task from the very beginning.
