For individuals from Lesotho who are considering moving to Austria for work, study, or other opportunities, it is important to understand the visa and permit requirements. Here is a comprehensive overview of the various visa options available, including work permits, study visas, job search permits, and the EU Blue Card.

Work Permit

Lesotho nationals seeking to work in Austria have several visa options depending on their qualifications and employment circumstances:

  • Red-White-Red Card: This card is aimed at skilled workers, those in shortage occupations, and specific groups such as researchers. Applicants must have a job offer from an Austrian employer and meet certain educational and professional criteria. The application process is points-based, awarding points for qualifications, experience, and language skills.

  • Austrian Work Visa: For those not eligible for the Red-White-Red Card, a standard work visa might be applicable. This visa requires applicants to demonstrate that there are no suitable candidates available from Austria or the EU for the position.

  • EU Blue Card: Designed for highly skilled professionals, the EU Blue Card requires proof of higher education qualifications and a job offer with a salary that meets the required threshold. The EU Blue Card facilitates residence and work in Austria and allows movement within other EU countries.

Study Visa

For Lesotho students intending to study in Austria, the following visa is required:

  • Student Visa (Residence Permit – Student): This visa is for individuals enrolled in an Austrian educational institution. Applicants must provide proof of admission, demonstrate sufficient financial means to support themselves, and have valid health insurance. The student visa also permits part-time work during the academic term.

Job Search Visa

  • Job Search Visa: This visa is available to graduates of Austrian universities, allowing them to stay in Austria for up to 12 months to search for employment related to their field of study. To qualify, applicants must have completed a degree from an Austrian higher education institution.

EU Blue Card

  • EU Blue Card: The EU Blue Card is targeted at highly skilled professionals. Applicants must present proof of higher education and a job offer with a salary that meets the set minimum threshold. This card allows for residence and work in Austria and provides the opportunity to work in other EU countries after a certain period.

Application Process

Applications for work permits, student visas, and the EU Blue Card can be submitted online or through the Austrian embassy or consulate in Lesotho. Applicants will need to provide various documents, including proof of employment, academic qualifications, financial resources, and health insurance.

For detailed information on requirements and the application process, it’s advisable to visit the official website of the Austrian embassy or contact the local Austrian consulate.
