Work Visa

Who can apply for this visa

It is quite difficult to gain a work visa as a non EU National in Austria. While possible, you must show sufficient experience in the job role and your employer must apply for you.

How to apply & requirements

Applications for work permits must be submitted by the company sponsoring your work contract. As well as this you are judged based on experience. A minimum of 6-12 months experience is usually required.

Once paperwork has been filled and prepared, you can submit your application locally. As well as this, you will need to apply for an Austrian residence visa.

Please contact your local Austrian Embassy for full details (see below) and requirements of this application process.
