Austria

Select an Austrian university or college program that matches your academic background and language profile. Review admission requirements carefully, including GPA, subject prerequisites, and whether the program is taught in English or German.

Submit the application through the university portal or by post, depending on the institution. Some programs require additional entrance documents, motivation letters, or portfolio materials.

After admission, arrange proof of funds, accommodation, and health insurance. If documents are not in German or English, arrange certified translations and, where needed, legalization or apostille.

Submit the student residence permit application through the Austrian embassy or the relevant authority, depending on your location and procedure. Attend any biometric appointment or interview if required.

After approval, travel to Austria, register your address, and complete any university enrollment or residence formalities. Keep your residence permit valid by meeting study progress and renewal requirements.

Check whether your profession fits Austria's skilled worker categories and whether you meet the required points based on education, experience, language ability, and age.

Apply for jobs in Austria and obtain a written employment offer that meets salary and qualification requirements for the permit category.

File the Red-White-Red Card or other relevant work permit application with the required supporting documents, including proof of qualifications and employer details.

After approval, enter Austria, register your residence, and begin employment. Keep copies of your permit, contract, and salary documentation for future renewals.
