About Austria Red-White-Red Points Calculator

The Austria Red-White-Red Points Calculator is an interactive, browser-based assessment tool designed for non-EU professionals who want to migrate to Austria. The Red-White-Red Card (Rot-Weiß-Rot – Karte) is Austria's primary points-based immigration pathway, aimed at attracting Highly Qualified Workers, Skilled Workers in Shortage Occupations, and Key Workers. To qualify as a Very Highly Qualified Worker, you must score a minimum of 70 points out of 100 on a specialized criteria list that awards points for your level of education, specialized expertise, work experience, language proficiency (in German or English), and age. Our calculator breaks down these official Austrian criteria into simple, user-friendly steps, helping you assess your score, check your eligibility against the official pass mark, and receive customized recommendations on how to boost your points.
