Hallo!

In this article, I will write about Austrian Residence and Working Permit procedures. Also I will try to infrom you about how to do and how is the process, generally at Vienna.
Austrian visa, working permit, residence permit example

Before starting, I think we have talk about Austria a little time. Austria is existing in the Middle Europe and actually, we can say that Austria is totally center of Middle Europe. Vienna is Austria's capital and the biggest city of Austria. Especially due to it's geopolitics position, strong Austrian economy and high life standarts; Vienna is one of the most livable city in Europe. That's why it's also taking a lot of immigration application.

When we said high life standarts, we have to specify that Vienna is selecting as the most livable city in the world for 5 years. Why not? I think they have right to choose this beautiful city because also it has one of the easiest and useful transportation system, nice city planning, saved history and historical buildings, arts, engineering, green areas, big parks, regular walking and bicyle ways... Shortly, system is going very well for it's citizens in this city, Vienna.

Now, time to talk about Residence and/or Working Permits. Firstly, there are some regulations -as expected in all countries- and requirements to apply this permits. You have to be eligible to one of these points below to apply Austrian Residence and/or Working Permits.

Immigration status: Clear. I wish and I hope we all won't become a immigrant one day.
Defection: I advice you another countries for defection, there are more willing to open countries for your application, if you have a very good reason.
Being first level-blood relative of one Austrian Citizen: Like being married with an Austrian or having Austrian father/mother or having Austrian borned baby etc.
Family connection with one of permanent residence permit holder (not a citizen): You can take same as above. But this process is more hard and it takes more time and effort to get your visa or residence permit.
Long-term residence for education purpose: One of the best and %90 guarantee way that probably you can get your visa or residence permit. Embassy and your university will support you about what to do.
Residence for working/investment purporse: If one of the international or strong German company invites you with a formal letter and contract, it's also very easy process to get your visa or residence and working permit. For investers; it's changing according to how big and what kind of investment(s) it will be.
Others: There are a lot of other special options. For example there are so many European Union projects under Erasmus+ and like EVS. I will write another blog for EVS sooner.

NOTE: For certain and more clear informations please contact or check official places. These advices and informations are written for making some ideas and showing ways.

If you have eligible for one of these requirements and would like to move Austria, generally you have 2 options.

Applying from your country to Austrian Embassy:
In this process, firstly you have to check which embassy is closer and giving service to you. After you have to check which documents you needed for a proper application. Actually the best way is calling or directly going to the embassy to get healty and clear informations.

Applying in Austria:
In some special situations, even if you have only tourist visa, you can make your application at Austria while you are in Austria at that moment. One of these is marriage. For example; after marriage, you can directly apply in Austria and if you are lucky, you don't need to go back to your country and apply again.

If you are applying somehow you will need for sure:

- Passport
- 2-3 Mug shot / photo which is taken in last 6 months for every applications.

Other documents are changin according to which or what purposes you are applying.

For example; If you are applying purpose of marriage to Austrian Residence and/or Working Permit, you will need these documents below + above documents:

- Marriage Certificate (German or English translation probably will needed)
- Leasing contract about where will you live.

After collecting all documents, you have to apply yourself to the MA 35 which is Immigration and Citizenship (Municipal Department 35). I advice you to check opening and working hours before you go because they are not working same times everyday.


Important note:
Austrian Visa, Residence and Working Permit processes generally realizing in this cases. But your application and approval times can be shorter or longer according to your case. Sometimes your process can take 1 month to get 1 year Residence Permit, sometimes it can take only 2 weeks to get 5 years of Residence and Working Permit etc.
