Of course classical music is greatly appreciated in Austria! It is actually one of the things Austria is known for - and attracts tourists and music lovers from around the world. I recommend that you visit Vienna first and while you are there visit Stadtpark (a city park) downtown and you will see many statues dedicated to famous composers. The most famous one is the gilded statue of Johann Strauss II. In the summer, a small orchestra regularly plays waltzes there. Other famous classical Austrian composers: Franz Schubert; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; Gustav Mahler; Joseph Hadyn; and Anton Bruckner to just name a few. Classical music is everywhere - even the famous Lipizzaner horses perform to Viennese music at the Winter Riding School. The Vienna Philharmonic, one of the best symphony orchestras in the world, performs at the Vienna Opera house from September to June. The city's second orchestra is the Wiener Symphoniker. There are also a number of chamber music ensembles, such as the Alban Berg Quartert, and lots of visiting musicians. Performances are held at theatres, like the Konzerthaus, and historic palaces like Schloss Schonbrunn. Here are some websites to check out: The Musikverein: http://www.musikverein.at/startseite.asp The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra: http://www.wienerphilharmoniker.at/index.php?cccpage=Home&set_language=en If you are a very good pianist, and know a bit of German (it does help) I think you have a good chance to find a job. I would start in Vienna first because not only is it the capital of Austria but also the largest city and the best night life. Good luck! Cheers, Petra M, Vancouver

Can someone give me some advice about finding work in the EU, specifically Slovenia, Austria, or Germany
Can someone give me some advice about finding work in the EU, specifically Slovenia, Austria, or Germany?
I know it's very difficult to obtain a work permit in EU countries. I read that in some countries, the employer must prove that the job cannot be filled by an EU citizen. So, what are some examples of these types of jobs (from a variety of fields, but especially from the fields of chemistry and linguistics) that cannot be filled by an EU citizen? Also, does anything in linguistics or teaching languages abroad make the list? Would a master's degree or Ph.D in either of these topics help? How do Americans go about getting a work permit to teach English over there anyway? Is it difficult to find a sponsoring employer? If it helps you in your answer at all, I'm not an EU citizen, but I will probably be studying abroad in either Germany, Austria, or Slovenia in a year or two, & I'll have 3 bachelor's degrees, including one in chemistry. I can carry on fairly advanced conversations in German & just started learning Slovene. I can get by in some other languages too, including Italian Also, I'd like a job when I'm studying over there. Will I probably be able to get a work permit for some part-time job when I'm studying? If you can answer even only one of these questions or give me any advice, I'd definitely appreciate it!

It's not as easy finding an English language teaching job in the EU, as it is, for example, in the Far East. The UK and Ireland are English speaking members of the EU, who themselves can work in any EU country they like. Consequently the demand in non English speaking EU countries for non-EU English teaching skills is not that great. The UK is pretty easy on study visas, which allow you to work part time. Start looking at suitable courses at institutions in the UK, and take the process from there. I think that will work for Germany as well. As an alternative, in Ireland, most job offers will secure you a visa. Google and search for jobs, and start applying over the internet. Germany is extremely stuck up with regard to work visas. I am in a profession that makes the list, with desireable experience, and I can speak German well. But companies there still think the bureacracy is too complex, so they're not interested in foreign applicants, except maybe if they are from India. That's because the perception is that Indian workers demand lower salaries. That's a pity, because Germany is otherwise a pretty jacked up and attractive country. Like you, I also have a good aptitude in languages, so I'll be watching this post closely to see whether there's (hopefully) some way in that I'm not aware of. Other than that I'm pretty convinced the studying route is the easiest. I know in the UK a student can only work a certain amount of hours a week, but in practice nobody enforces that. Maybe it works the same in Germany, who knows?

Is it easy to get a Work Permit in EU
Is it easy to get a Work Permit in EU ?
I have a female friend who lives in Malaysia. She can speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English. She used to work as a receptionist and a barmaid. She would like to go on a Working Holiday to UK, Italy, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. She would have to get a job to support herself. Are jobs easy to get in EU ?

It may be possible, but I don't think it would be easy for someone from Malaysia. Many other Western countries have student work exchange schemes meaning students can work in Europe for a short period without a problem, but I don't think that applies to Malaysia. For actual work the best bet is to try for something seasonal. The beach resorts hire in summer, and the ski ones in winter. They prefer people who speak a few languages because they have all sorts of clientelle. But its almost impossible finding local, regular jobs if you don't speak the local language fluently, except perhaps for cleaning work. Oh, also, its easier to get a work permit if you are sponsored by an employer in Europe who has already offered you a job.
2 :
She does realise she needs to apply separately to each of those countries for visas & she must have a job lined up before she does so? Each country deals with its own immigration matters, there is no central agency or visa that will allow her to move freely between those countries If she's looking to work as a barmaid or hotel receptionist despite the fact she speaks 3 languages she will find it hard to get work as she is not doing something that would considered particularly skilled or in demand A Schengen visa covers travel within the Schengen Zone, it doesn't entitle her to work - not every EU country is a member of the Schengen Agreement either
3 :
No. Except for the UK she is also not speaking the native language - which will be requirement for the majority of jobs. How could she work e.g. as a barmaid if she can't understand the orders? Also have her look at current unemployment rates in those countries. It will be much harder for her to find a job than for anybody actually living in a place.

What is the yellow berry/fruit with green leaves surrounding it called
What is the yellow berry/fruit with green leaves surrounding it called???
I worked in Austria for a few months this year, and there was this wonderful fruit that I am still craving today. Unfortunately, no one was able to think of the English translation for it. It could be from the berry family, but I'm not sure. It's about the size of a cherry, but it is yellow. It has no pit or seed and is usually served with the leaves still intact. The leaves are thin and green and sit directly ontop of the fruit or berry itself. Does ANYONE know what these are called? Thanks so much!

You could try to get a job at your embassy. Nova is the major english teaching company. I don't think you need college just be a native speaker for most places. Also I've been in Japan for 6 years now and they're definetly not on the whole go green fad that the US is on right now. They're killing whales and throwing stupid activists off their boats for trying to stop them.
2 :
Short answer: No. Long Answer. No you can't because you need a bachelors degree. A bachelors degree is an Immigration requirement for a work visa. At your age and experience, the only way you're going to get a company to sponsor you is to have the immigration requirement of having a bachelors degree. Teaching English in Japan isn't a dream, its more like a nightmare for many. Nova, which was a large language school in Japan, went bankrupt, they recently restructured but left hundreds of teachers and staff unemployed. The job market is not so great at the moment for English teachers. One post said look for embassy jobs. These jobs are highly competitive, and most times also require a degree. You should consider returning to school and getting a degree, it does help down later in life. I know many like to say "it is just a piece of paper", but that piece of paper gets you paid more and opens up more job opportunities. The likelyhood of getting a job for a Japanese company in the USA is hard without a degree of some sorts, and you really have to excel for them to transfer you to back to Japan.
3 :
Go work for a Japanese company in the USA that has a Japan presence. By the time you are 23 you will have your degree then you can ask for a transfer or apply for a job in Japan under the same company.
4 :
Sorry to be the one to break it to you but you're not going to be able to work in Japan, even to teach English. You need a 4 year degree from an accredited university/college or 10 years of documented experience in your field. Without these you're not getting a work visa. Even if somebody were to sponsor you, immigration wouldn't let you in. Your only other hope is to marry a nice Japanese girl.
5 :
In order to qualify for a working visa in Japan, you need an undergraduate degree. That's the law and it applies to all jobs. If you don't have that, then there is no way you can legally obtain a working visa and no one will sponsor you. Anyone that says otherwise is lying and will probably rip you off as soon as you arrive in Japan. Even if your nationality did qualify you for a working holiday visa, you still need to have completed one year of your degree. Your best option would be to go on a tourist visa, where you can stay for up to three months, or a student visa (you have to be studying at a Japanese university), or a spouse visa (as the name suggests, you have to marry a Japanese national).

No degree = no job. And you need to have good English to teach English ! BTW, to gain American citizenship you MUST renounce the citizenship of your home country.

I worked in Japan as an English teacher, without an undergraduate degree so the person who said 'anybody who says you can is lying' doesn't know jack. But as an American you can't and you said Austrians can't either. :-( Have you thought about teaching German (if you can speak it).There are less German speakers and it may be easier to get a job without a degree that way. At least it ups your chances to look for work in either/both languages. As another poster said Nova went bankrupt. A new company called G-communication took over Nova's business and is currently running it as Nova did (just on a lot smaller scale). Almost all other jobs require a degree, or another type of visa (working holiday which you said you can't get or spouse etc.) As someone else mentioned getting here on a student visa or some other visa like cultural or entertainment (if they apply), then you can always change later if you can find yourself a position. And as another person mentioned you can come to Japan on a 3 months tourism visa and see what work you can pick up (private students are paid in cash so no visa checks) and you might be able to land a sponsored visa by applying at all the employment agencies... Because a lot of places don't actually check your accreditation - and I know (personally) of 3 people who have jobs with visa's they purchased online. But I also heard of someone who didn't get a position because the government checked his degree when he applied for his visa, as they do random checks, apparently. There are quite a few jobs that are offered for people who already live in Japan. As the company doesn't want to bother with advertising abroad when they don't need to. If you have enough cash to get by and don't mind living in a guesthouse you can manage on a tourist visa, with privates and leaving the country to visit other places in asia for the weekend every 90 days. There is a online publication called Ohayo Sensei which you should look at and you can see what I mean about jobs being available to those who already live in Japan. It will be really, really hard to get a job without a degree, and right now isn't the best time because of the Nova thing, but if you are desperate and really, really want to be here then it can be done. Or see if someone wants a homestay/english teacher - I've seen it advertised once or twice but don't know anyone personally who's done it. But you could advertise here to swap english for a room and a small wage. Don't know what visa that would be though. As for privates the base rate is 3000yen a lesson (usually an hour) and a guesthouse is about 35000yen a month for shared accom in Tokyo.

Help on moving from the USA to Austria
Help on moving from the USA to Austria!?
My boyfriend wants to move to Austria from the US. I searched on the internet what he would have to do ( meaning getting a visa and such) My problem is that we both don't really know what is necessary to do before he can move to Austria, and work here too. So I guess I need detailed information, soon if possible :) Thanks in advance.

Call the Austrian Embassy in Wash DC. They can get you going. If money is not a problem there are immigration services that can help you smooth the process but they are usually expensive. http://www.austria.org/
2 :
If you are not citizens of Austria, then you both need passports from your country. Then you need to get a visa from the Austria Government. (you go to their embassy in your country and apply for the Visa). If you're a US citizen, check with our department of state (on the internet) they could tell you if you need a visa for Austria or not. If fact, probably the Austrian Government could tell you that too. Also on the internet. Getting a job and working in Austria is another story. You have to first, be in Austria. Then apply to the Austrian Government for a work permit. I the work permit is approved, Now you can both do your thing. Good Luck.

there is a lot to do before you can move there. first you need a passport, copies of any old passports, a recent photo, the residence permit application, original/notarized birth certificate, you need a criminal report saying you have committed no crimes, proof of health insurance, proof of sufficient financial means (a.k.a.-show them you have lots of money, i'm talking of more than just a few grand), proof of lodging in austria, photocopies of all these documents-all of this is just for the residence permit, i'm not even talking about the work permits. this is a long and costly process, just so you know. it is also lengthy. you may have to wait a few years to get in cause they do have quota's. the only way the quota's don't matter is if you make more than 4,200 euros a month and are quite educated/well off. other than that, the best is to contact the embassy.

I searched on the internet what he would have to do ( meaning getting a visa and such) My problem is that we both don't really know what is necessary to do before he can move to Austria, and work here too. So I guess I need detailed information, soon if possible :) Thanks in advance.

Call the Austrian Embassy in Wash DC. They can get you going. If money is not a problem there are immigration services that can help you smooth the process but they are usually expensive. http://www.austria.org/
2 :
If you are not citizens of Austria, then you both need passports from your country. Then you need to get a visa from the Austria Government. (you go to their embassy in your country and apply for the Visa). If you're a US citizen, check with our department of state (on the internet) they could tell you if you need a visa for Austria or not. If fact, probably the Austrian Government could tell you that too. Also on the internet. Getting a job and working in Austria is another story. You have to first, be in Austria. Then apply to the Austrian Government for a work permit. I the work permit is approved, Now you can both do your thing. Good Luck.

Moving to Austria to see my family.. please help
Moving to Austria to see my family.. please help!!?
I was born in Bosnia and lived with my father, mother and two older brothers. We then moved to Austria Vienna from the war for two months, after hardships and a difficult divorce between my mother and father, my father took me to Australia with him when I was two years old we gained an Australian Citzenship however sadly he passed away when i was eight years old to cancer. I am now 20 years old it has been eighteen years since i have seen my brothers and my mum. I am planning to visit them in June 2011 which they are very happy about. I have been keeping in contact with them over the years and they really want me to live over in Austria with them. My grandma who i love very much lives in the city Vienna whereas my mum and brothers are more on the rural side. I'm not so sure about making the decision to live there before i go there but if i do like it what are my options? I graduated from high school here in Australia and would like to maybe do furthur study in Austria or Vienna, my Grandma told me i could live with her while going to school. I can speak very little german but with more practice i will be fine. Will i need to apply for a Visa to live in Austria (Vienna) even if I was born in Europe (Bosnia) How could I apply for a Visa without losing my Australian Citizenship (Just in case I want to go back to Australia) Is it difficult for a 20 year old female to find work in Austria without having a degree or bachelor? Only serious answers please Thank you!! I will aslo only be bringing 15,000 AUD to bring with me (will convert to Euros of before I get there) Do you think that would be enough for me start with?? I would not have to pay for accomodation.

yes you will need to have a visa to visit Austria as you are now an Australian Citizen and no you will not lose your Australian citizenship through getting a visa, even if you decide to stay in Austria you could still retain it also, that is hold dual citizenship. As for the amount of money you want to take with you, you will have to declare any amount over $10,000.00 AUD. Go to this site for more detailed info http://www.immi.gov.au/

Well since you are a Australian citizen you don´t need a visa to visit Austria (your passport will "allow" you to stay here for a maximum of 90 days). When you want to live in Austria its getting complicated. The best chance you have is to apply for a student visa (but there is no guarantee that you will get it) which would allow you to study in Austria (but will not allow you to live here when you have finished study). To get permanent resident status you would need a "visa" which allows you to work in Austria (And this is hard or quite "impossible" to get because you are no EU citizen). It´s pretty much impossible to get a working permit for non EU citizens because you would need an employer which can prove that he/she is not able to find a single EU citizen (and we are talking about 500 million people) "willing" to do your job to even apply for a working permit. So you would need extreme high qualification in a sector where people are demanded. Without this you don´t even have a chance.

We also speak English and Italian. Thanks you very much!

Are Bosnia and Herzegovina part of the EU? (sorry for my ignorance). If yes, you can go on a 3 month return ticket and check it out/apply locally for a tax number. Perhaps find your job first on the internet and set up an interview date for when you are visiting the country. Set up as many as you can for the time you are visiting. Go to the Austrian embassy in your country to get advice. good luck!

Yes, you can apply for your immigration to all of these countries, i.e. UK (Point Based System), Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Italy, and US, Canada. I do not know which Degree you got, but usually there is a point calculator in every website, best Advise: contact a Solicitor or I do not know your financial status, but best way is to you can apply as an student to which ever country you find suitable and than once you come here, than, you can change your Visa status. or One of you apply for a student visa, and when he goes to which ever country, he can apply for his spouce as a dependent, and than you can change your immigration status. this ways is very Cost effective, cheap and quick (usually up to 45 - 60 days) rest send me an email and i will guide you, if you are planing for UK.

Austria doesn't have any immigration scheme so unless u find a job where ur employer can sponsor you for work permit its pretty much impossible to move to Austria. UK does have Tier 1 points based system but the criteria is not easy, you must have UK Level masters degrees, that means total 17 years of Education and past one year income of 45000 Euro & at least 12 months work experience. It kicks out most of the people to apply for UK PBS. However u have a choice to apply for Denmark Green card scheme tht happens to be easiest when it comest to selection criteria. I have put the link to Denmark Green Card scheme, if u feel applying for it u can read the guidelines. Good luck.

Yes, you can but it's not too easy. Your first stay permit will be based on your study but you want to work when you are no longer a student. This can be difficult, you should already plan that while you are studying e.g. with starting a job. One possibility is that an employer wants you because of special abilities and assures that they will pay you a pretty high sum of money, something over 2500 Euro I think. Or fall in love and marry - but only as long as you are legal, marriage once you are illegally here doesn't help. :) But back to employment - just take care of it as soon as you come here, also go to the students union and talk to them.

A provision of the immigrant law says that you must have a job to immigrate, jobs however can only be offered to immigrants if they cannot be filled by resources of the German labor market. Having an unemployment rate of more than 7% in Germany it will be hard to find jobs unless you are a highly qualified specialist in a certain field that is looked for and cannot be filled with German or European applicants.

Hi, It depends on which nationality you are. I am a Non EEA/EU citizen and worked in Salzburg, Austria for a year. If you are the same, then the procedure goes like this. 1) You find an employer who is willing to sponsor you. 2) The employer then approaches the ABS (Work permits dept) with your documents (educational transcripts, work experience details, copy of birth certificate and other details). 3) The employer must show that they were not able to find a local suitable for the job. Upon hearing your case, you would be cleared and would receive a work permit. 4) You must then apply for a resident visa at the Austrian embassy. The entire process took my close to 3 months. The Austrian officials are very well known for their bureaucracy and the key is patience. It would help if you know anyone from inside the system as that helps speed up the process faster. All the best.

Well you will need a work permit which has to be applied for on your behalf by an employer and this is not an easy prospect. http://www.ams.at/english/14615.html This work permit will not be granted unless it can be proven that the candidate is the only one that can fulfill this position (on the basis of experience or skills) and that non-one else in the total pool of labour in the EEA can do the job instead. This is not easy to prove unless it is a highly specialist position. As a result most online applications now state that any applicants must already hold a permit or status which allows them to work in the country. So unless you have specialist skills/education which are not easily found then there is little to no chance. Also in Austria, English is spoken, but not widely and not in the workplace (with the exception of international companies/organisations) If you want exact details then you should contact the Austrian embassy in the Phillipines.

Well sorry to tell you but you are not allowed to work on a student visa (not even part time). When you are no EU citizen you are not allowed to work without a special work permit (and this is really near impossible to get since your "possible" employer would have to prove that he can not find a single EU citizen (and we are talking about 500 million people) who would be willing to do "your" job bevore he/she would be allowed to employ you. the next problem you will face is that you can only apply for a working permit in your home country. So all you could do is start studing in austria and while you are doing this try to find someone who would be willing (if he is allowed because of the facts i listed bevore) to employ you. Then you would have to get back to your home country again and apply for a working permit (and the problem is you will not get one without proving that you allready have found someone who is willing to employ you). So again sorry but your "chances" are very slim or to be realistic as good as impossible,

Should the U.S. have the same laws pass and applied to every legal immigrant seeking asylum, PR, and citizenship?

As soon as the USA adopts an official language, it will be one step closer to implementing something like this. And NO, "Merican" is not the same as "English". They may have some things in common, but it is NOT the same language.
2 :
Just to add a point of view from inside: Italy is doing this just to add obstacles to immigrants, not because we really need immigrants proficient in Italian. This is the reason why we ask language skills but we don't offer any teaching program to immigrants. Moreover: this law has been asked and promoted by the North League party.

Should the U.S. have the same laws pass and applied to every legal immigrant seeking asylum, PR, and citizenship? I have always believed that 5 years is more than enough time for any foreigner to learn the basic language of the host country. Not 3 generations.

As soon as the USA adopts an official language, it will be one step closer to implementing something like this. And NO, "Merican" is not the same as "English". They may have some things in common, but it is NOT the same language.
2 :
Just to add a point of view from inside: Italy is doing this just to add obstacles to immigrants, not because we really need immigrants proficient in Italian. This is the reason why we ask language skills but we don't offer any teaching program to immigrants. Moreover: this law has been asked and promoted by the North League party.

Have the prospective employer send a letter to the nearest Australian consulate or embassy in your area. You can get the work visa very quickly. Worked for me in about a day. (Unfortunately, the contract fell through after that.)

If you unlock the phone, it will

IN 5 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know right? read details in atical: Well, the iPhone is exclusive on AT&T in the USA. No T-Mobile deal has been announced in the US yet, and it’s likely that the Jesus Phone won’t “officially†be available on T-Mobile anytime soon given the 5 year exclusivity agreement between Apple and AT&T. Is there something we don’t know about this exclusivity agreement? 5 years equals forever in technology; I’d be very surprised if Apple signed something like that. One thing is for sure, Apple seems pretty ready for T-Mobile… I wonder what AT&T’s management will think of that. Hmmm.

2 :
Catholic schools often offer excellent educations and there are often fewer behavior issues in Catholic and other private schools. In my experience having attended Catholic schools growing up, students are well disciplined and respectful and the schools seem to provide a true, quality education. I would love to work for a Catholic school here in America, but the pay is just not as much as I make in the public school system. I am assuming the pay is better in Austria. I currently work in a public school system in the United States. It is a great school system, but the discipline issues are astounding. Teachers have to put up with so much misconduct from students. It is hard to get students with serious behavior issues removed from the school. That is often not the case in the Catholic schools. A colleague's daughters attend a Catholic school near the public one in which we work, and she is extremely happy with it. As a Catholic, another plus to working in a Catholic school is that the essential beliefs and values with which you were raised are a core part of the education the students receive. I wish you the best of luck in your interview!
3 :
The school is a mission of the church. In general, you will not be paid as much as a public school and most Catholic school teachers realize that. You teach there because you are dedicated to educating the children not only in reading, writing, and arithmetic but also in the faith. You are helping to raise the students to become morally responsible, compassionate adults.

Are you Catholic? This would be the main reason to teach in a Catholic school. IF you aren't, than you may want to teach in a private school because the students are better behaved, etc.

My friend just bought a Playstation 3 in the U.S. for his nephew in Austria (Europe). ?
He wants to know if this Playstation will work in Austria? Will the PS 3 games that he rents in Austria work on his American PS 3? Will it play Austria blu-ray disks? Should I ship this Playstation 3 to him, or should I return it to the store?

There are different types of electric current(Austria has more watt in their electricity), but the playstation 3 is like a laptop, it can manage different currents. It will be able to play austrian games, because games have no zoning law on them, but it probably won't be able to play the blue ray dvds, most dvds have zoning law on them(means you can only watch them from dvd players and systems from their own country). So basically, all the games should work, but the blue ray disks probably will not(they will if the disks are from usa).

It is extremely difficult to get a work visa to work in a foreign country. you must have a job skill that is needed there...and often must have a job offer and documentation of enough income to support yourself. You need to start your research by going to the websiteds of the embassies ofSwitzerland and Austria to read their requirements for getting a work visa. the first website below gives contact info for the Embassy of Switzerland. They do not give work visa info on the website...you have to call or email them with your questions. The 2nd wesite gives info on a residence permit for Austria, and you can also click on "contact' at the top of the page to get their phone number. the next 2 websites are info on working in Switzerland. good luck in your research.

I do have a friend in Geneva, Switzerland. She works for a bank. but what she did was she went into a big bank in the USA then, she applied for a transfer to the bank in Switzerland with the same company. Its easier when the Company backs you up with your Working Visa applications. Nonetheless, learn German or French before you go, its a plus.

There is an agreement for the exchange of young professionals between the United States and Switzerland. Under this agreement it is easy to get a limited work permit if you find a job or an internship. Contact the Swiss consulate for details about the agreement. Btw: To find a job it is recommendable to speak one of Switzerland's national languages.

I can't read enoug French to verify this, but my understanding is that the details vary but the basic rules are the same in every EU country. If you are the spouse of an EU national the EU national can move to any EU nation and reside and work there, complying with registration formalities after the first 90 days. The spouse of an EU national has the right to accompany their spouse, reside, and work in that nation as well. A non EEA/EU national spouse may be subject to different registration formalities but it is my understanding that they too are allowed to work. It would be good to confirm this with a French consulate.

This is something you would need to discuss with the Austrian and French embassy-they can clarify the current rules for you.

[I live there, but as a native and citizen, so my point of view is different, just to keep that in mind] Q: How do you get a work visa? A: That's actually rather difficult, in this day and age. Depending on your qualifications, the duaration of your stay, whether you already have a job opportunity (ie are "sponsored" by a local or international company etc), things vary greatly. Get in contact with the Austrian embassy of your home country, they should be able to answer these questions. By all means, do some research while still at home, some things can only be done from abroad! Q: How do taxes work if you are an American working in Austria? A: There is a treaty on the avoidance of double-taxation between the Republic of Austria and the US, so you only pay taxes once, eithere here in Austria or back home. It's quite complicated, actually, but the bottom line is that you pay taxes in the country that you live in for the larger part of the fiscal year. Edit: Forgot one thing, there is a general and compulsory medical and social insurance scheme in place. Premiums are deducted automatically from your salary, in turn you get a chip card (named "e-card") that entitles you to free healtch care at most doctors or hospitals. It also includes insurance against personal injury and unemployment. Q: What is the best way to do banking? A: Banking is straightforward. You chose a bank, walk up to a branch, and open an account. They will ask for ID, obviously, and perhaps a proof of residence (you need to register with the local authorities within 72 hours of changing address!), but there's no need to establish a line of credit, bring references or things like that. Checks are virtually unheard of in Austria, most payments (utility bills, etc) are done via direct (online) deposit. Internet-Banking is reliable and widespread. Cash is used for most daily transactions, but ATMs are widespread and generally free (!) to use if you have an Austrian account. Q: How difficult are things if you only speak English? A: It depends. In Vienna, there is a comparatively large expat community, also the UN crowd, dimplomats, etc. Many Austrians, at least the younger people, speak a tolerable English. There are movie theaters, a radio station, even newspapers in English. Still, if you really want to connect with the local populace, or when dealing with doctors, authorities, etc trying to pick up at least a few words of the local vernacular will be quite helpful, not to mention appreciated by a number of Austrians, seeing that you make an effort. Having said that, you will get by with English alone, too. Q: What do you recommend to avoid? A: Don't touch sensitive topics like Hitler or the Second Worldwar without good reason, certainly not in general, pleasant conversation. Table manners are slighlty different, just observere and imitate. Austrians don't talk much about money, and they hate it when you call their currency "Euro Dollar" (it's "Euro", plain and simple.) Q: What do you think are "must-see" while in Austria? A: Vienna has a lot to offer, but that you can discover while there. Much of the rest will depend on your preferences. Try to go to Salzburg at least once, also make an effort to see the "Wachau" valley, and the Melk monastery. Q: What are the people like there? A: Like much of the rest of Europe. Austrians in general have a reputation for being "gemütlich" (cozy, laid back), while the people of Vienna are said to be grouchy. I am, obviosuly, generalising. Anyway, these are the cliches that come to mind.

I'm sure there are more sites out there (PLEASE be VERY cautious), but here's one: http://www.jobsinaustria.at/Marktplatz/Jobs/default.asp?page=Index_en.asp&CatID=121 The process for non EU-citizensThe process for receiving full rights to stay and work in Austria includes several steps and depends on what you plan to do there. Please keep in mind, all visa applications have to be issued from outside Austria, before you travel. Work permits Which permit do you need and how to apply Whatever job you take in Austria, you need the relevant work permit. Depending on your qualification, the situation on the labour market and the duration of your stay there are different options. The Austrian authorities issue three types of work permits. What type of permit you can or will get depends on your personal situation, your future plans and (unfortunately) on some other factors you might not be able to influence. Restricted work permit (Beschäftigungsbewilligung for one year) Work permit (Arbeitserlaubnis for two years) Unrestricted work permit (Befreiungsschein for five years) The restricted work permit is issued for a specific job and employer at a specific location. If you change your job or even if you just change site while working for the same company, you will need to apply for a new Beschäftigungsbewilligung. If you have worked (using the restricted permit) for one year, you can either get another restricted permit, or you can apply for the real work permit - Arbeitserlaubnis, valid for one specific district within Austria and allowing you to change employer. After two years, you can renew the work permit. If you have made it so far and you have worked legally for five years, you can then apply for the unrestricted permit - Befreiungsschein. If you get it, you are free to choose any job in any district of Austria for a period of five years. If you manage to find a company which supports your application, things move quickly and smoothly. In summary: You first apply for the restricted work permit. Then you need at least two periods (2 years each) of employment with the work permit. And then, after five years, you can get the unrestricted work permit. Does this sound complex to you? Yes, it is complex and takes a lot of time and paperwork. If you manage to find a company which supports your application, things move quickly and smoothly.

I am looking into moving to Austria for a year or so to work as a cook. I have attended culinary college here in Canada, and am a registered appretice. I would like to find an employer in Austria to hire me on, and help set me up with some kind of lodgings. Can someone please email me some places that I can look into. Location does not really matter to me just the opportunity to work in Austria as a cook is very appealing. Thanks.

It's hard to find any problems when it comes to living in Austria. The country is beautiful, the weather is normal (no hurricanes, tornadoes, etc., only the regular 4 seasons), they have an amazingly rich culture and history and that's obvious in almost every detail of their daily life. The only downturn I can mention is the fact that they're not very sociable and nice to foreigners, they won't be very warm with you especially if you don't know the language. Once a foreigner, you're always be a stranger in Austria. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't be polite, a little colder though. Best wishes and good luck!

Austria and Germany are members of the EU. Switzerland isn't. For you got get a job in any of the two EU members states you have to have an offer of a job. An employer would have to advertise the job in all 27 EU countries before taking someone from outside the EU. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to get a job in Switzerland. Again like the EU an employer must make a formal job offer for issue of a work permit. The employer then applies for a residence permit from the police immigration section of the local canton. Decision on granting a permit depends on a series of variable criteria such as the type of job, qualifications, etc
3 :
i´d say Austria and Germany are easier to get in to, Switzerland is harder, you would need to get a job, and also Switzerland isn´t a part of the european union but it is a part of schengen space, so perhaps if you get a job in the other 2 could eventually find one in Switzerland.

Work and/or residence permission is specific to a single country. Schengen applies only to border control. With a valid work or residence permit in Austria, you have freedom of movement throughout the entire Schengen Agreement zone, but not the right to work or reside in another member country.

That is very unlikely or at least unpractical. First of all the EU is not "one big country". Each country has it's own rules for work permits and especially medical licenses. Only citizens of EU member countries have the right to live and work there. US citizens have to apply for residency permits, work permits and medical certification. This is not easy or done quickly. And Austrians would expect you to speak their native language fluently to get work! Do you speak fluent German? Coworkers and patients alike would expect that - speaking English alone would not be acceptable. @askmelater The three months tourist visa you are referring to does NOT allow you to work! If you do you will be deported and banned from entering Europe for several years. If you practice medicine without certification you will go to jail first. ---- P.S. I wonder how many people reading this question will confuse Austria with Australia as usual?

You need an unlocked phone with the 900 and 1800MHz bands, then you can buy a SIM card from a local carrier in Austria so you won't have to pay roaming rates.
2 :
you have to check with your carrier.
3 :
not sure you would have to get it unlocked and all this other load of stuff
4 :
It should being a non-American company. Your sim card will determine more.
5 :

6 :
In addition to needing an unlocked phone with the 900 and 1800MHz bands, you will need a power cord that will work in Austria. The cord that comes with the phone will not work.

Can my cousin get work visa for Austria to work there as a skilled worker
Can my cousin get work visa for Austria to work there as a skilled worker?

He can work in Austria without a visa, it's in the EU. Unless of course you mean Australia, in which case I assume you're American and unable to distinguish between the two.
2 :
Is he an irish citizen? If so yes (he can work and live in all 27 EU countries not only Austria). If not well then it´s as good as impossible because of the EU rules.
3 :
As already answered by others, if your friend is citizen of any of EU countries, he can live and work in any of the EU countries. Assuming he is not, then, here is a piece of news for you. Austria has relaxed visa norms for migrants hailing from non-EU nations. This step is aimed to help fill the widening gap between the required number of workforce in the nation. A new Austria work permit- ‘red-white-red card’ has been unveiled by the nation and it will come into effect from 1st July 2011 onwards. For getting Austria work permits to work in the nation, the eligibility criteria with regard to age, language skills, education and work experience has been laid down. The ‘red-white-red card’ has been fashioned along the lines of the US Green Card and named after colors in the national flag of Austria.

I would try Dachstein, although you may find that work opportunities are quite limited because EVERYONE wants to go there. Also, I think you may be a little late looking for a job, the seasons started a long time ago, but there probably are vacancies around. Otherwise try any place in the Salzkammergut, Kitzbühl is a classic or if you want to be near Vienna have a look at Semmering. Hope this helps!
2 :
Obertauern is quite remote and they are looking always for staff there. However, you will need a working permit. Simply check the ads here http://gastrojobs.salzburg.com/karriere/Stellenangebote an call an employer for details.

What are the requirements for international nurses who want to work in Austria
What are the requirements for international nurses who want to work in Austria?
I'm a nurse from the Philippines, and was wondering what the Austrian government's requirements are for international applicants. In Australia, nurses from other countries who want to work there have to undergo schooling in an Australian university for at least 2 years, go through the IELTS exam, pay special fees, etc. Does the same go for Austria? I'd really appreciate a detailed description and if possible, all requirements needed. Thank you!

This is because of the country you took your studies in not because of anything else.If you got a degree in Nursing from say the US UK or Japan it wouldn't be required.I would fully expect Austria to have the same requirements.
2 :
If you are looking for a job and an employment visa, skip Austria. Skip all of Europe. You don't have the proper qualifications. You might not even speak their language at the technical, professional level required. But above all are EU regulations. Job priority goes to citizens of the country. Second priority goes to those from other EU countries. If you are not a citizen of an EU country, you have practically no chance of getting any job regardless where you are from or how many PhDs you have. You're "only" a nurse, apparently no university degree at all, and there's no need for CNA, LPN, RN level foreign nurses. Plenty of citizens with such credentials can't get jobs. Have you paid any attention to unemployment statistics for the various EU countries? Have you been following the debt bomb? They are not hiring foreign workers.
3 :
You will find it even more difficult to work in Austria given that it's a non-English speaking EU country. You've also misunderstood the Australian requirements. Fully qualified RNs from overseas do not need to study in Australia for 2 years. Many nurses from the Philippines and other countries work in Australia and have not been required to undertake additional training. You're correct about IELTS though and of course there are fees for your visa, medicals, skills assessment and registration. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/medical-practitioners/nurses.htm http://nurseinfo.com.au/overseas

How much does it cost to for a work visa for an American to work in Austria
How much does it cost to for a work visa for an American to work in Austria?
Hi, I am wondering how much it would cost to secure a work visa for Austria. I have attempted looking this up, but as yet have not come up with an answer. Please give me any details you may have as to how to find out, and what other services will be required. Things such as how much it would cost to have the application translated into German, etc. I have been told it would cost a certain amount, which seems to be a rather high number and I am just trying to get information to find out if this place is trying to rip me off or if it really does cost that much. If so, it is an awful lot more than it is for other countries!! Please tell me all you can about this situation -- please don't just say to ask the consulate -- I need details. Thank you for any help you are able to give.

There are two possible (legal) ways for a non-EU citizen to work in Austria: 1) As the direct employee of an Austrian company; and 2) As the employee of a foreign company that is providing services to an Austrian company. There is no such thing as a work visa in Austria. First you need a work permit, through the labor department (AMS - Arbeitsmarktservice), and then you must apply for a residence visa (Type D) through an Austrian embassy/consulate in the US. The cost for the residence visa is approximately 100 Euros.
