Vienna EU Blue Card renewal: organize the MA 35 route
Use this page to prepare a Vienna EU Blue Card renewal file before working through the official MA 35 process. It helps keep expiry, current employment, appointment, and filing records together; Permit Tracker does not submit an application or decide eligibility.

Timeline and reminders
Permit Tracker stores the expiry date, marks preparation windows, and helps schedule reminders for documents, authority questions, and follow-up tasks. This page does not promise processing times.
Common complications
- The current card was issued for less than two years and its expiry is approaching.
- The employer, role, or employment situation changed, which the City of Vienna treats as a possible change of purpose.
- Passport validity, appointment evidence, or the filing receipt is missing as the expiry date approaches.
How Permit Tracker helps
FAQ
When can I file a Vienna EU Blue Card renewal?
The City of Vienna says a renewal application can be filed at the earliest three months before the current Blue Card expires and must be filed before it expires. Check the live MA 35 page before filing.
Which MA 35 office handles a Vienna Blue Card renewal?
The City of Vienna identifies the MA 35 Business Immigration Office for Blue Card renewals for people living in Vienna. The official page explains the appointment and filing route.
What should I do if my employment changes?
Vienna says a change such as working for another company can be a change of purpose that must be reported to MA 35 as soon as possible. Keep the employment records and verify the current official route.
Can I rely on this page for a decision about my salary or eligibility?
No. This is an organizational guide. MA 35 and the official Blue Card requirements decide which employment, qualification, and other evidence is required in an individual case.
Does Permit Tracker apply to MA 35 for me?
No. Permit Tracker organizes documents, dates, reminders, and follow-up tasks. You or an authorized representative use the official MA 35 process yourself.
