Most job seeker visas don’t allow foreign nationals to bring their family members on a job seeker visa, but they can join them once they have a work visa. Austria is the only countries that allow foreign nationals to bring their family members in the country for up to six months. The family members need to apply for a separate Austria family visa. If both visas are applied together, the visa will be approved simultaneously: the family members will receive their visas, allowing them to travel to Austria together.
