Processing of the application
Immigration process orientation
Processing time
Once the residence permit application has been submitted, it usually takes several weeks for all involved Austrian authorities to process it. If you have not heard back from them in more than six weeks, feel free to contact us!
Request for additional information by the authorities
Have you submitted your candidate’s application and AMS has now contacted you for additional information/documents or with the request to agree to a labour market test (“Ersatzkraftverfahren”)? If you are uncertain about the best way to respond, feel free to contact us for further support.

Have you received the message that the residence permit application has been denied? Are you not sure why the application was not decided positively by the Austrian authorities?
