The Austria Job Seeker Visa 2024 offers a unique opportunity for qualified non-EU nationals to seek employment in Austria. This visa, valid for six months, is designed for highly skilled workers, especially in the fields of technology and engineering.

Eligibility for the visa is determined through a points-based system, which assesses applicants on their qualifications, work experience, language skills, and age. To qualify, applicants must score a minimum of 70 out of 100 points. The application process requires the submission of relevant documents, including proof of qualifications and health insurance, along with an application fee of approximately €150.

Successful candidates who secure a job within the six-month period can convert their visa to a Red-White-Red card, allowing for longer-term employment and residency in Austria. This initiative aims to attract top talent to Austria, fostering growth and innovation in key industries.
