After graduating in Austria, non-EU students can apply for a Red-White-Red Card for job seekers, valid for 6 months. This allows time to find employment related to your degree. Once secured, you may transition to a Red-White-Red Card for skilled workers, provided the job meets salary and qualification requirements.
Alternatively, the EU Blue Card is available for roles with an annual salary exceeding €45,594 (2023 threshold). Graduates in STEM fields often benefit from streamlined processes. Ensure applications are submitted before your student residence permit expires to maintain legal status.
