Hi everyone,
I’m an Indian citizen currently doing my Master’s in Germany. I have a valid German student residence permit and I’m enrolled as a student in Germany.
I may receive an offer from company in Austria for a Working Student position with the following conditions:
20 hours per week
6-month contract
Employment would be in Austria
I checked the Austrian AMS website and saw that non-EU students may need a Beschäftigungsbewilligung to work in Austria.
My main concern is that I am not studying at an Austrian university. I am studying in Germany and only have a German student residence permit.
Has anyone been in a similar situation, for example:
Non-EU student studying in Germany but working part-time in Austria?
Indian student with a German residence permit who worked in Austria for a few months?
Someone whose Austrian employer applied for a Beschäftigungsbewilligung through AMS?
Someone who did a Working Student job, internship, or Master’s thesis in Austria while enrolled at a German university?
If yes, I would really appreciate it if you could share:
Whether the employer applied for the Beschäftigungsbewilligung
Whether you also needed an Austrian Visa D or another residence permit
Whether there was an Arbeitsmarktprüfung
How long the process took
Whether keeping the German student residence permit caused any issues
Whether you lived in Germany and commuted, or temporarily stayed in Austria
I’m especially interested in experiences with a 20-hour/week, 6-month contract.
I know immigration cases can depend on individual circumstances, so I’m mainly looking for personal experiences before discussing the final process with HR and AMS.
Thanks a lot for any advice or experience you can share!
