Yes, through Family Reunification, which covers your spouse, registered partner and minor children. Most adult applicants need basic German (A1) before arriving, though families of Blue Card and Red-White-Red Card holders are exempt from the annual quotas.
Yes — Austria's Family Reunification route lets your spouse, registered partner and minor children join you, provided you hold a qualifying residence title or Austrian citizenship. You'll need to prove the family relationship and show adequate accommodation, all-risks health insurance and stable resources.
There are two Austria-specific things to plan for. Most adult applicants must show basic German at A1 level before they arrive, with exemptions for families of EU Blue Card holders and researchers and for children under 14. And some categories are subject to annual quotas — but family of Red-White-Red Card holders, EU Blue Card holders, researchers and Austrian citizens are exempt from those quotas, which is a meaningful advantage if you hold one of those cards.
The application fee is EUR 218. Because quota availability and language rules can change, confirm the current position on the official portal before you finalise timelines.
If you're unsure whether your residence status exempts your family from the quota or the A1 requirement, ACME's free initial consultation can help you check before you apply.
