Employment

If you want to work in the Tyrol, a number of things need to be clarified and/or applied for in advance depending on whether you are an EU/EEA citizen, Swiss citizen or a third-country national.

As a third-country national, you need a residence permit in most cases. However, even for EU/EEA citizens and Swiss nationals, there are regulations to be observed in connection with residence.

Questions relating to the recognition of school-leaving certificates, academic degrees or vocational qualifications that you have obtained abroad may arise regardless of your home country.

If you have a partner who also wants to work in the Tyrol, we are happy to help with the relevant application process, too.

We would be pleased to advise you and your partner on all aspects of working in the Tyrol.
