Pathway overview
For non-EU researchers with a hosting agreement with a certified Austrian research institution.
Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources: you need a hosting agreement (Aufnahmevereinbarung) with a certified Austrian research organisation, or one exempt from certification. If your accommodation costs exceed €386.43/month, you'll need to show additional funds — this checker doesn't model that separate condition. Health, accident, and pension insurance apply automatically once your salary exceeds the 2026 marginal-earnings threshold (€551.10/month).
