Update for Red-White-Red Card in Progress

This was announced by the State Secretary responsible for reducing bureaucracy, Josef Schellhorn (NEOS), on Wednesday after the Council of Ministers. Applications are to be simplified and procedures shortened. In addition, there should be a single point of contact ("One-Stop-Shop") for this. A draft law is expected to be available at the beginning of next year.

Red-White-Red Card to be modernized

Schellhorn argued for strengthening competitiveness. "If companies have to wait months for decisions, it is a disadvantage for the location." The indicators for the Red-White-Red Card, especially for the shortage occupation list, are also to be evaluated. In addition, work is being done on pilot projects where adult apprentices, who are trained at a foreign location of an Austrian company, can receive a Red-White-Red Card.
