Austrian student visa

Usually, people will prefer to immigrate to a country that offers free study. That means either studying at free universities or receiving public and private scholarships. It is very tricky to get a bachelor’s or master’s degree scholarship, although it is possible. We will discuss the scholarship types in these study levels in the following.

It is very tricky to get an Austrian bachelor’s degree scholarship. The applicants must meet the following requirements to receive one.

• High GPA in diploma and pre-university
• a 12-year diploma

We will discuss the tuition fees in Austria in this section. The applicants can study for free in Austria with a German B2 degree, a high GPA, and admission to a national university. The study cost at a free Austrian university is about 1,000 euros a year (almost free compared to other countries). The applicants must pay between 12,000 and 15,000 euros a year depending on their university and course at an Austrian international university without a scholarship.

Most applicants want to know whether they can work while studying and cover their living and study expenses in Austria. Fortunately, people can work 20 hours a week while studying in Austria, which allows the Austrian student visa applicants to cover part of their living expenses. Besides, people can learn about working conditions in Austria and the Austrian language and increases their chances of finding a job after graduation.

One of the most critical things for many people, especially married people, is whether they can obtain a companion visa for their spouse and children. Many countries provide the conditions for a person to apply for a family reunification visa for their spouse and children below 18, of which Austria is no exception. The Austrian student visa applicants can take their spouse and children below 18 with a companion or dependent visa. The applicants cannot take their companions with them from the beginning if they apply for an Austrian work-seeker visa. However, as soon as they find a job in Austria, they can convert their visa into a work visa and apply for a visa to join the family (spouse and children below 18). The student visa applicants can apply for a companion visa either simultaneously or after three to four months.

One of the critical and essential factors for study migration to a country is the universities’ global reputation and ranking. We listed the top Austrian universities in the table below.

Obtaining an Austrian student visa is one of the most critical steps in migrating to Austria. The required documents to receive an Austrian student visa are as follows:

Besides the living and study cost in Austria, working conditions after graduation and the conversion of an Austrian student visa into a work visa are critical issues for immigrants to Austria. Austria has a pretty low unemployment rate of 6.9%, which has led to many people applying to work in Austria and obtain a job search visa. The applicants can receive a six-month visa and look for work in Austria. However, they can look for work after completing their studies for a year in Austria. The applicants can convert their visa into a work visa and receive permanent residency after five years if they find work in Austria. They can apply for Austrian citizenship after another five years. Besides, the Austrian student visa applicants prefer this country because of its low unemployment rate. People who have studied in Austria have a high chance of finding a job after graduation.

They cannot get permanent residency in Austria by studying and must change their visa to work, investment, or marriage. The applicants can obtain Austrian citizenship if they work for five years and pays for insurance and taxes in Austria. Five years after receiving permanent residency, a person can apply for Austrian citizenship. Then, a person can enjoy all the Austrian citizen rights.
