What counts as a permit renewal?

Applying to extend your current Red-White-Red Card Plus, student visa, permanent residency, or family visa before or shortly after it expires, so you can keep living and working in Austria without a gap.

How long before my permit expires should I start?

Start as early as you can. You are able to submit your renewal up to 90 days before your current permit expires. Austrian authorities expect a renewal application before your current permit's validity ends, so you keep your legal status while it is processed.

Can I stay in Austria while my renewal is being processed?

In most cases, yes, if you apply before your current permit expires. The exact rules can differ slightly across RWR+, student, permanent residency, and family visas.

Do I need to prove German language skills again?

It depends on your permit type and how long you have held it. Some renewals do not require re-proving language skills, while others do. We are here to help you find out exactly what is required for your unique case.

Can you help with more than one renewal at once?

Yes. Tell us about your case in the form below and we will cover everything that applies to you and your family members.

What happens if my permit expires before a decision comes through?

If you submitted your application in time, you are generally allowed to remain in Austria legally while the decision is pending. We recommend starting early to avoid any gaps. Reach out to our team if you have any questions, we're here to help!
