The confirmation of guaranteed work is designed to recruit foreign workers who are to be employed in Austria for a limited period of time. It is an assurance given by the Public Employment Service (AMS) to the employer that an employment permit will be issued to a foreign national who has been recruited and lawfully entered the country. Moreover, the confirmation of guarantee work is to be submitted to the competent representation abroad where the foreign artist files an application for issuance of a visa or residence title.
