What employment opportunities in Austria does the status of temporary protection/asylum provide for Ukrainians, in particular, in terms of access to the open labor market and the absence of the need for a work permit from 21.04.2023?
Having temporary protection or asylum seeker status grants Ukrainians the right to access the open labor market, meaning individuals can be employed in any vacancy that matches their qualifications and education.
Starting from April 21, 2023, Ukrainians no longer need a work permit. This means that if a person finds employment, the employer does not need to apply for a permit from the Public Employment Service (AMS); instead, they can directly formalize employment relations with the employee.

Ukrainians with disabilities and those aged 50 and above have the right to employment in the labor market. To do this, they need to request referrals to similar vacancies from the AMS.
Displaced individuals from Ukraine can register as job seekers at the employment center and receive relevant assistance and counseling regarding employment. For more information, read the details at the provided link.
