The main difference between the Austrian Job Seeker Visa and the Red-White-Red Card is that the job seeker visa is issued for only 6 months, allowing you to enter Austria to seek employment. In contrast, the Red-White-Red Card is a residence and work permit granted to highly qualified individuals with a job offer. Eligibility for the job seeker visa is determined through a points-based system, which allows you to convert to a Red-White-Red Card after securing a job offer. The Red-White-Red Card, on the other hand, has a different set of requirements, including a job offer, a minimum salary threshold, and points criteria based on your category (Key Workers, Shortage Occupations, Very Highly Qualified).
