VISA TO AUSTRIA

Citizens of EU member states, European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland do not need a visa for entering the Republic of Austria.

Nationals of other countries might require a visa in order to enter the Schengen Area or the Austrian territory.

Please check the information on whether you require a visa or not on the website of the Federal Ministry of the Interior

Foreigners who are not nationals of an EEA state or Switzerland and who wish to pursue gainful employment or a short-term activity similar to gainful employment (e.g. internship) always require a visa (see also “Temporary work visa”).

Nationals of those states for which the visa requirement has been lifted by means of an EU regulation are entitled to visa-free entry to Austria for a maximum of 90 days per 180 days in case of no gainful employment.

More detailed information about the entry requirements for Austria can be found at www.bmi.gv.at/visa.

Should you have any further questions, you can contact the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Department V/B/7, by telephone on +43 1 53126 / 3557 between 8 a.m. and 12 a.m.
