Job Seeker Visa

Overview

The Austrian Job Seeker Visa (Aufenthaltsbewilligung — Arbeitssuchende) allows qualified professionals to enter Austria for up to 6 months to search for employment. Austria uses a points-based system where applicants are assessed on qualifications, work experience, age, and language skills. Once in Austria, you can attend interviews, visit companies, and explore the job market. If you secure a job offer that qualifies for the Red-White-Red Card, you can transition directly without leaving the country. Vienna consistently ranks as one of the most livable cities in the world, and Austria offers excellent salaries, strong worker protections, and access to the heart of Europe.
