Can I migrate with my family on a Job Seeker Visa?

Most job seeker visas don’t allow foreign nationals to bring their family members on a job seeker visa, but they can join them once they have a work visa. Austria is the only countries that allow foreign nationals to bring their family members in the country for up to six months. The family members need to apply for a separate Austria family visa. If both visas are applied together, the visa will be approved simultaneously: the family members will receive their visas, allowing them to travel to Austria together.  

 

Migrate with family on Austria Job Seeker Visa

Austria allows highly skilled professionals to explore job opportunities within the country and enable them to bring their families. The Austrian Job Seeker Category D Visa is designed to bring a family member, such as a spouse or registered partner, and minor children by their side to Austria.

 

With this category D visa, family members can be included directly in the Jobseeker visa application, simplifying the visa process.

For family members, qualification revolves around providing proof of the relationship with the principal applicant. This includes:

 

• Marriage certificates for spouses or registered partners
• Birth certificates for minor children
• Health insurance
