Anyone wishing to work in Austria requires both a work and residence permit in order to be employed. The specific regulations depend on the individual’s country of origin and citizenship. Access to the labour market may be granted, for example, via the Red-White-Red-Card, (Rot-Weiß-Rot-Karte) the Red-White-Red Card Plus or permanent residence in the EU. In some cases, in addition to a residence permit or visa, authorisation from the Public Employment Service (AMS) is also required.
