    As a pupil you can receive an employment permit for employment of up to 20 hours a week without a labour market test. Companies have to apply for this employment permit at the Public Employment Service (Arbeitsmarktservice - AMS). Another provision for an employment permit is that the primary purpose of stay, attending a school, is not jeopardized.

How long does the status last, how is it renewed, and what officially documented post-study work or residence possibilities exist?

On extension, evidence of study success is necessary; an extraordinary-status pupil must change to regular status by the first extension, or in some cases the second extension at the latest. The official source does not state the permit duration or any post-study work or residence possibility.
