Necessity for Schengen visa if in possession of a valid red white red card plus

Question

I am an Indian passport holder and have a red white red plus card valid till Jan 2025 (it was issued for 3 years). My employment in Austria ends on the 31st of August 2023 at which point I will move to the UK. My question is: can I still enter the Schengen area as long as my red white red card plus remains valid or will I need to apply for a Schengen visa every time I want to visit Austria or any other country in the Schengen area?

Answer 1

When you leave Austria, you must deregister your residence. Thus you are no longer a resident in Austria and the immigration authority will invalidate the residence permit.

You will need a visitor visa to visit the Schengen Area.

Possibility of losing a right of residence

The settlement authority can under certain conditions, withdraw a right of residence with an administrative decision or the right can automatically expire by law.

This is the case, for example, with temporary residence titles if a third-country national is no longer resident in Austria. In this case, the authority must issue an official decision that the settlement in Austria has ended.
