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.

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. Or write them an email, this is the department for foreign students of the students union: auslaenderInnenreferat<a>oeh.ac.at This is the governments helpsite for foreign citizens (working) in english: http://www.help.gv.at/Content.Node/144/Seite.1440000.html Good Luck!
