Generally, she would need a visa to enter another EU country. As you are British, it should be issued quickly and for free. Once there, she generally needs to apply for a residence card within three months of arrival. No work permit is required.

Thank you fast responding for my questions. As I understood ; If she wanted to work and stay in Austria she need a work permit in 3 months..
Will it be hard to get work permit?
If she want to stay in austria longer with work permit ,she will lose her work permit and right to live in UK.

Is this mean she also lose her work permit in Austria.?

If she had her work permit in austria, Will it be for life or certain time?

thank you .

Firstly, like I said before, there is no work permit. There is a residence card and that can be used to demonstrate a right to work. It is not permanent. Permanent residence can be built up over time.

Why don't you start reviewing EU website for some basic initial information?
