Who is the EU Family Member residence permit for?
The EU Family Member residence permit (Aufenthaltskarte) allows non-EU nationals to live and work in Austria when their spouse, partner, or close family member is an EU citizen residing there. Unlike the Red-White-Red Card, eligibility is based on your family relationship rather than qualifications or a job offer, making it one of the more accessible routes to Austrian residence. It's typically valid for up to 2 years and renewable, with a clear path toward long-term residence over time.
What this path means for you
The residence permit for family members of EU citizens offers one of the most flexible ways to live in Austria.
No points, no quota
Unlike the Red-White-Red Card, this route has no points system. If your family member qualifies, you have the right to join them.
Full right to work
Once you receive your card, you have unrestricted access to the Austrian labor market. No separate work permit is required for spouses or partners.
Path to permanent residence
After five years of continuous living in Austria, you can apply for a Permanent residence card (Daueraufenthaltskarte), the most secure long-term status.
Who qualifies?
EU Freedom of Movement covers more than just spouses. It can cover:
Spouses & Partners
You are the spouse or registered partner of the EU citizen.
Children & Grandchildren
You are under 21, or older and financially dependent on the EU citizen.
Parents & Grandparents
Your maintenance and support is provided by the EU citizen.
Life Partners
You are in a proven, long-term relationship with the EU citizen.
