For international residents in Austria with the Red-White-Red card, residency is tied to an employer. The Red-White-Red Plus card is not tied to employment with a specific employer and grants holders full access to the labour market in Austria. If you already have a Red-White-Red Card, you can usually apply for a Red-White-Red Card plus after holding the card for two years, provided you were employed under the relevant eligibility requirements for at least 21 months during the previous 24 months.
