Rot-Weiss-Rot Karte Plus for Vertriebene · 2026
Rot-Weiss-Rot Karte Plus — from temporary protection to stability in Austria
RWR+ is a residence permit that grants you full freedom on the labour market, the right to self-employment, and the ability to apply for the entire family. No tie to a single employer. No AMS restrictions.
For the whole family
Full work freedom
Path to permanent residence
⏳ Vertriebene status is valid until 4 March 2027. File your application while the window is open.
WHAT YOU GAIN
Rot-Weiss-Rot Karte Plus — your key to stability
It is more than a residence permit — it is a full status that changes your standing in Austria for good.
Freedom on the labour market
Work in any sector. Change employer. Open your own Gewerbe. No additional AMS approvals required.
Protection for your family
Apply together with your partner and children. One application — stability for everyone.
Path to permanent residence
RWR+ → Modul 1 (A2) → Modul 2 (B1) → Daueraufenthalt EU after 5 years. A clear, transparent route.
Legal protection
Your status no longer depends on temporary protection. You receive a separate, self-standing Aufenthaltstitel.
REQUIREMENTS
Just 4 requirements. Not 40!
If you have been working in Austria for at least a year, you most likely already meet the criteria.
01
Ausweis für Vertriebene
You hold a valid „blue card" — the residence document for displaced persons from Ukraine. The status has been automatically extended until 4 March 2027.
02
12 months of work within 2 years
At least 12 months of full social-insurance coverage (ÖGK or SVS) within the past 24 months. The months do NOT need to be consecutive — they accumulate. Income above the marginal-earnings threshold (€ 551.10/month).
03
German A1
Basic A1 level. ÖIF, ÖSD, Goethe or Telc certificates are accepted (no older than 1 year) — or a Ukrainian higher-education diploma, which replaces the A1 certificate. If you have lived in Austria for 2+ years, you most likely already hold one of these documents.
04
Sufficient income
Your net income (Netto) must cover the cost of living + rent. For a single person — from € 1,308.39/month (2026). Familienbeihilfe and Kinderabsetzbetrag are counted!
