Austria Work Visas and Permits
Whether your company is relocating employees to Austria or expanding its operations across Europe, AtoZ Serwis Plus is here to support you. Our immigration specialists work closely with businesses of all sizes, helping them develop the right immigration strategy to meet their workforce and growth objectives. Austria offers multiple pathways for companies that need to hire or transfer foreign talent. As a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area, the country follows structured rules for work eligibility, processing timelines, and family benefits, each of which depends on the type of permit selected.
When expanding to a new country, rules related to residency and work visas can look complex and bureaucratic at first glance. If your company is planning a move to Austria with an international team, you need to know how to obtain work visas for each person to ensure compliance.
Types of work visas in Austria
Not every international worker entering Austria requires a visa. For example, European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Swiss nationals do not need a visa. However, all applicants from outside these areas must apply in person at the closest Austrian embassy or consulate general.
Since Austria is part of the European Schengen zone, all nationals from other countries must apply for a Schengen visa as the first step to enter the country, whether for business or travel purposes.
Some of the types of visas in Austria include:
- Red-White-Red Card: This work permit is valid for 24 months and allows applicants to live and work in Austria. However, employees can only work for the employer specified in the application and must fall into a specific category.
- Students’ residence permit: After completing their studies or relevant training, student residence permit holders can renew their license for an additional 12 months to find employment or start a business.
- Jobseeker visa: This visa is only for highly qualified workers. It is an option for those who want to move to Austria for 6 months to find a job. To be eligible for this type of visa, applicants must achieve a minimum of 70 qualifying points based on specific criteria.
- EU Blue Card: As an alternative to the Red-White-Red Card, the EU Blue Card is a residence permit granted to third-country nationals who are particularly highly qualified academics. It’s a temporary settlement and may offer limited access to the labour market.
- Business visa: Individuals visiting Austria for business activities for less than 6 months can apply for a business visa to stay compliant. Austria has agreements with certain countries that permit citizens to visit for up to 90 days without requiring a visa.
Requirements to obtain an Austrian work visa
Austria uses a points-based system to help determine which category applicants fall under, including highly qualified workers. These skilled workers can fill shortages, including startup founders, graduates of local higher education institutions, self-employed key workers, and other key workers. These categories then help determine the type of visa for which the applicant is eligible.
All of these categories are eligible for a Red-White-Red Cardthe, the most common type for non-nationals working in Austria. Please note that requirements vary depending on the classification of employees and the type of visa they are applying for. For example, to be considered a highly qualified worker, individuals will need:
- A passport
- A birth certificate or equivalent document
- A photo taken within the last 6 months
- Proof of accommodation
- Proof of health insurance
- Proof of financial ability to support yourself
- To submit biometric data
- Application for a residence permit in Germany
- Police clearance certificate from the country of origin
Additionally, the eligibility criteria points system requires other measures of proof, including:
- A university or higher education degree
- Gross annual salary for a senior management position
- Research and innovation activities
- Awards and prizes
- Testimonials and work certificates
- Language skills
- Studies in Austria
As of May 2023, Red-White-Red card applicants can now receive additional eligibility criteria points for language skills in French, Spanish, Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian. Applicants must obtain certification to be eligible; certification will also serve as proof of proficiency.
Please note that EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals do not require a visa and can stay for more than 3 months, provided they hold a registration certificate and have sufficient financial means to support themselves in the country or attend college. After 5 years of living in Austria, anyone can apply for a long-term residence certificate.
Application process
There are several options for applying for a Red-White-Red Card, depending on the applicant’s skills, qualifications, and desired career path. After submitting the above requirements to the local Austrian embassy, applicants must pay a fee.
The immigration authorities’ website outlines all the ways to obtain a work visa in Austria, depending on the employee’s category and desired visa type. If you’re unsure which option is best for your circumstances, we recommend consulting with a local immigration specialist or agency.
Other important considerations
An Austrian work permit does not cover residency, so all employees will need to obtain a separate residency permit. For a temporary residence permit, they must provide their work permit, a statement of salary or income, and a letter from their employer. They can eventually apply for permanent residency after 5 years of living in the country legally.
