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!

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.

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.
