Live employer listings, country-specific CV tailoring, and ATS-keyword scoring for RWR Card-sponsoring roles.
About the Red-White-Red Card
Austria's Rot-Weiss-Rot-Karte is a points-based skilled-worker permit. Tech professionals typically apply under the 'Other Key Workers' or 'Skilled Workers in Shortage Occupations' streams — software developers, data engineers, ML specialists, and most senior IT roles are on the current shortage list.
Minimum 2026 salary thresholds depend on the stream: €2,970/month gross for shortage occupations and €3,465/month gross for other key workers. Points are awarded for qualifications, age, German language proficiency, and work experience. Processing runs 4–8 weeks via the AMS + Austrian embassy. After 2 years, holders qualify for the Red-White-Red Card Plus, granting unrestricted labour-market access.
CV tip for RWR Card applicants
Highlight German level (A1/A2/B1) prominently — language points often determine acceptance for borderline candidates.
Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — www.migration.gv.at — before applying or making relocation decisions.
