Simplify Your Red-White-Red Card Application
Who can apply for the Red-White-Red Card in Austria?
The Red-White-Red (RWR) Card lets non-EU nationals live and work in Austria based on a points-based system. It’s designed for skilled workers across several categories — each with specific eligibility rules and point thresholds.
Very highly qualified professionals
Skilled workers in shortage occupations
Graduates of Austrian universities
Start-up founders
Self-employed key workers
Certain sector workers (e.g., tourism, agriculture, forestry)
The RWR Card is usually issued for 24 months and grants full access to Austria’s labour market during that period. It’s a route to longer-term residence if you meet the requirements.
How we can help: For every RWR application type we guide you through the official process, turn requirements into a simple, step-by-step checklist (forms, documents, deadlines) and provide expert review before submission so you know exactly what to prepare.
