Stays of more than 6 months

Persons from third countries will only get a residence title for staying for more than six months if they can provide proof of having a “health insurance covering all risks”.

 Travel health insurance policies are only sufficient for the period between entering Austria and taking out a “health insurance covering all risks”. In this case, applicants have to provide proof of having taken out travel health insurance (covering medical costs of more than 30,000 euros, including a guarantee to cover possible recovery and repatriation costs, valid for at least three months) and they have to document the probability that they will take out a “health insurance covering all risks” after entering Austria (in case of future statutory national health insurance e.g. by means of a preliminary contract with your future employer).
