The country is home to more than 70 universities and offers 2000 courses of study. It is also an excellent place to establish a business. Moreover, Austria allows international students who have graduated from Austrian educational institutions to stay back and seek employment. Austria post study work visa is valid for a year. This allows the student to be employed in Austria and even establish a business. Before moving to Austria, it is important to know about the Post Study Work Permit in detail. This blog will provide all the information you need for the Austria Post Study Work Visa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-austria-give-work-permit-after-study\"><span id=\"does-austria-give-work-permit-after-study\">Does Austria Give Work Permit After Study?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Austria is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/visa\/what-is-schengen-visa\/\">a part of the Schengen zone<\/a><\/strong>. The country doesn\u2019t offer a Austria post study work visa to students. However, the third-country nationals who have graduated from an Austrian higher educational institution can apply for a residence permit renewal. A residence permit will allow the student to stay in the country for 1 year. During these 12 months, the student can seek employment opportunities or even start a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-austria-residence-permit-for-employment-and-business-purposes-nbsp\"><span id=\"austria-residence-permit-for-employment-and-business-purposes\">Austria Residence Permit for Employment and Business Purposes&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia Post Study Work Visa doesn\u2019t exist. However, the Third Country students who have completed their education\/ compulsory training are eligible to apply for a residence permit. The residence permit &#8220;Students&#8221; can be applied for a year. During this time, a student can seek employment or start a business in the country. However, they must fulfil the general requirements provided under the Austrian settlement and residence law. For example, having health insurance, enough means of subsistence, etc. Hence, we can say that the Austrian residence permit is the same as the Austria post study work visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video below to learn about Austria post study work visa or the residence permit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Austria Residence Permit\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n17sE1tm0iw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: @DesiNidhiInEuropa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-red-white-red-card-for-graduates\"><span id=\"red-white-red-card-for-graduates\">Red-White-Red Card for Graduates<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An international student (from a third country) can stay in Austria after completing their studies. For this, they can apply for an Austria post study work visa or a residence permit. During this period, if employment is obtained from a specified employer (work contract) that matches the qualification level of the student, then a Red-White-Red Card can be applied. The Red-White-Red Card for Graduates does require the student to undertake a labour market test. However, the student must meet the essential requirements for the red-white card for graduates. They are:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The applicant must be paid the local customary gross minimum wage.
