Austria Visa

Austria's Visa Classifications

Austria, a key Schengen Area member, issues the Schengen Visa (Type C) for short visits (up to 90 days within any 180-day period). Visa types depend on your travel purpose:

• Tourist Visa: For leisure, sightseeing, or visiting friends/family.
• Business Visa: For professionals attending conferences, meetings, or exploring business opportunities (usually requires an official invitation).

Standard Documents for Austria Visa Applications

Traveriya will provide a precise, personalized checklist. Generally, you’ll need:

• Valid Passport: Valid for 3+ months beyond your Schengen departure, issued within 10 years, with 2 blank pages.
• Previous Visas: Copies of any prior Schengen, UK, USA, or Canada visas.
• Photographs: Two recent biometric passport-sized photos (3.5×4.5cm, white background, face covering 70-80%).
• Application Form: Completed and signed Schengen Visa Application Form (often an online form).
• Flight Bookings: Confirmed round-trip flight reservations (entry/exit from Schengen Area).
• Proof of Accommodation: Confirmed hotel bookings for your entire stay or an official invitation letter (“Annexe 3bis” for family/friends) from your host in Austria.
• Travel Health Insurance: Mandatory comprehensive coverage (€30,000+ for medical emergencies, hospitalization, and repatriation) valid throughout all Schengen countries.
• Proof of Financial Means: Original, stamped bank statements (last 3-6 months) showing sufficient funds to cover your stay (typically €45 per day if staying with friends/family, and €95 per day if staying in a hotel). Salary slips, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from employer, or business registration (if self-employed) are also common. Proof of socio-economic ties to your home country (e.g., property ownership) can be beneficial.
• Documentation Clarifying Travel Purpose: Detailed itinerary for tourists; official invitation letter from an Austrian company for business visits.
• For Minors: Birth certificate, consent letter from both non-traveling parents (or legal guardian), and copies of parents’ passports.
