Austria to Launch New Cross-Border Worker Permit on 1 December 2025
Effective 1 December 2025, Austria will introduce a new combined residence and work permit specifically aimed at cross-border or frontier workers: foreign nationals who live in a neighbouring country but regularly commute to work in Austrian border regions.
This new immigration category is officially called the “Residence Permit – Cross-Border Commuter” (Aufenthaltstitel Grenzgänger). It is designed for third-country nationals (non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens) who already hold a long-term residence permit in a state bordering Austria and who continue to maintain their main home there.

When do the new changes take effect?
The Home Office has published a new Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules (HC 1333), effective dates varying from October 2025 – January 2026 depending on the change (see below).

Success isn't just completing tasks - it's the creativity, effort and attitude you bring. Two people can do the same thing, but the one who does it with passion, precision and flair will leave a lasting impact. That sums up Hudson McKenzie experience.
