Among the various countries in Europe, Austria remains one of the most stable, wealthy and inviting ones for skilled foreign workers. The Job Seeker Visa is an option for non-EU candidates who meet the requirements and wish to go to Austria, find employment in person, and turn their visa into a long-term work and residence permit, all without needing a job offer in advance.
From determining your eligibility to getting comfortable in your new work environment in Austria, Immigrow Visas is by your side at every step.
The Austria Job Seeker Visa is a national D visa of Austria, falling under the Red-White-Red Card service concept. Highly qualified individuals who wish to enter the country first to look for a job without having to secure a job offer beforehand are the target group of this facility.
Finding a job within the visa period means that you can switch your temporary visa to a Red-White-Red Card. The Red-White-Red Card is a work and residence permit combined that eventually leads to settlement in Austria.
