TEMPORARY RESIDENCE PERMIT UN AUSTRIA

If you plan to obtain a temporary residence permit in Austria, professional legal assistance is a guarantee of a positive result and protection against refusals.
Residence Permit in Austria: Main Types and Grounds
Austrian law distinguishes between the concepts of «temporary protection» and «residence permit» (Aufenthaltstitel). In 2025, the transition from asylum to stable types of residence permits became relevant for many Ukrainians.
We help process the following types of permits:
- Red-White-Red Card (Rot-Weiß-Rot – Karte): for qualified specialists, shortage occupations, and start-up founders.
- Red-White-Red Card Plus: grants free access to the labor market. Since 2025, simplified conditions for transitioning to this card apply to Ukrainians already working in Austria.
- Settlement Permit (Niederlassungsbewilligung): for financially independent persons (without the right to work, but with high passive income).
- Residence Permit for Study (Student): for students of Austrian universities.
- Family Reunification: for relatives of persons who already have legal status in Austria.
Conditions for Obtaining a Residence Permit in Austria in 2025–2026
To successfully obtain a residence permit in Austria, the applicant must meet a number of criteria. As of 2026, the requirements for financial capacity and language knowledge have been updated.

Important Changes: Residence Permit in Austria for Ukrainians and the Mobilization Law
