For self-employed people whose work brings a wider economic benefit to Austria, not just to their own business. You qualify by meeting at least one macroeconomic criterion, such as a substantial capital transfer, creating or securing jobs, bringing new technology or know-how, or being significant for a whole region. Issued for 24 months, with a path to a longer settlement permit afterwards.
Non-EU self-employed professionals whose activity creates measurable benefit for the Austrian economy.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
One qualifying route is transferring at least €100,000 of investment capital to Austria, though job creation, technology transfer, or regional importance can also satisfy the test.
The card only covers your described self-employed activity; to work as an employee you must switch to a different Red-White-Red Card category and meet that category's requirements.
Your self-employed activity must create macroeconomic benefit beyond your own operation, shown through at least €100,000 investment, job creation, transfer of know-how or new technology, or regional economic significance.
The card is issued for 24 months for fixed-term settlement and lets you pursue the specific self-employed occupation described in your application.
