Can I bring my family to Austria on a work permit?

Foreign nationals or third-country nationals can bring their family members with them, but they must issue a different visa for them on their work permit. They can also issue a Red-White-Red Card Plus if they are holders of a Red-White-Red Card or have European citizenship.

 

The Red-White-Red Card offers a residency permit for third-country nationals who would like to work as skilled employers in Austria and stay there permanently. Their Family members (spouse/husband, registered partner, and children) can apply for a Red-White-Red Card Plus, enabling them to freely access the Austrian labor market.
