New Settlement Regulation Caps Austria’s 2025 Immigration Quota at 5,616 Permits
Austria’s new Settlement Regulation limits 2025 admissions under quota-bound residence categories to 5,616, a reduction of 230 permits from last year. Most places (4,850) are earmarked for family reunification of third-country nationals, with smaller allocations for financially independent residents and status conversions. Employers must plan early, as provincial quotas are expected to fill quickly.
