Well, I think to get a green card in Germany you have to take a test.

I don't know details for Austria, just can provide a website. For Germany, to tell you the truth, it will be hard to become a working immigrant. 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.
