Austria is a beautiful landlocked country in Southern Central Europe<\/a> with a population of 9 million and a GDP per capita of $50,137.66 in 2019. It is a popular destination for skilled workers from around the world, for non-EU residents, wanting to move to Austria, the process of moving there is more involved than for EU citizens.<\/p>\n

Travelling to Austria<\/p>\n

Non-EU citizens usually need a Schengen visa to travel to Austria, unless their country has a bilateral agreement with Austria. Visitors without a visa can stay in Austria for up to 90 days. If you plan to move to Austria as a skilled professional, you must have a work permit, which you must apply for in your home country.<\/p>\n

Getting a Work Permit for Austria<\/p>\n

Austria offers three types of work permits: restricted (valid for 1 year), standard (valid for 2 years), and unrestricted (valid for 5 years). To obtain a residency permit, you’ll need to get one of these work permits.<\/p>\n

Red-White-Red Card<\/p>\n

The Red-White-Red Card<\/a> is a permit for qualified workers and their families to live and work in Austria. To qualify, applicants must score enough points based on their education, professional experience, age, and language skills.<\/p>\n

Very highly qualified workers who score 70 points can get a six-month Job Seeker Visa to find work in Austria. If they receive a job offer, they can apply for the Red-White-Red Card. Skilled workers in shortage occupations who score 55 points and have a job offer can apply for a 24-month permit. Start-up founders who score 50 points and have \u20ac50,000 in funds can also apply. Graduates from Austrian universities can extend their student residence permit for 12 months to find a job or start a business but must earn at least \u20ac2,500 per month to stay long-term. Self-employed key workers and other key workers also have the opportunity to apply for residency, but specific criteria must be met.<\/p>\n

EU Blue Card<\/p>\n

The EU Blue Card is similar to the Red-White-Red Card but does not require a points system. To be eligible, applicants must have a university education, a job offer in Austria, a salary that is one and a half times the average salary, and pass a labor market test. The EU Blue Card also allows for free movement within the EU and permanent residency rights.<\/p>\n

Other Options<\/p>\n

Studying is another way to move to Austria. The country has an excellent education system, with many degree programs taught in English. You can apply for a student residence permit (Aufenthaltsbewilligung – Student) and pay international tuition fees. Retirees can apply for a settlement permit by showing proof of sufficient funds, health insurance, a place to live, and some understanding of the German language.<\/p>\n

The Austrian Jobseeker visa<\/a> is another way to move to Austria as a non-EU resident. This is a permit that allows you visit Austria for 6 months to search for a job if you meet the eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, moving to Austria as a non-EU resident can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. With the right skills, education, or funds, you can make your dream of living in Austria a reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
