Visa &
permits.
VIS provides help, assistance and the
necessary information in order to register
with the Austrian authorities or to obtain
a residence permit for Austria. There are
costs associated with the registration and
obtaining this residence permit (and its
renewal), which are not borne by VIS. These
may be claimed against the next year’s tax
return. VIS teaching staff are not required to
obtain work permits.
EU passport holders (including Iceland,
Liechtenstein, Norway,and Switzerland)
can enter Austria at any time. They do not
require a residence permit but need to
registerwith the Vienna city authorities.
All non-EU citizens require a residence permit
for Austria. In order to receive the relevant
residence title, several administrative
steps have to be taken. VIS will provide
information on this process, as well as help
and assistance with the official registration
procedures but supporting documents will
have to be provided by the teacher. Visa
applications might have to be submitted at
an Austrian Embassy or Consulate abroad.
Public documents like birth certificates,
marriage certificates, police clearances and
qualification certificates from teachers and
their dependents have to be provided in
an authenticated version (“legalisation”) so
that they can be used internationally.
Accompanying family members
(dependents) also have to apply for
residence permits. Only married partners will
be considered as family members and can
obtain a residence permit.
