Do You Need a Visa to Stay in Austria?
Visa Exemptions: Citizens of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland do not require a visa for short stays (up to 90 days within a 180-day period) for tourism, business, or family visits.
Visa Requirements: Citizens of non-EU/EEA countries may need a visa, depending on their nationality, the purpose of their visit, and the duration of their stay. If you are unsure whether you need a visa, please review the Schengen Visa requirements and start your application as early as possible.
Where to apply for a Visa
If you require a visa, we strongly recommend applying well in advance. Visa applications should be submitted to the Austrian embassy or consulate in your country. For specific questions, please contact the Austrian diplomatic mission closest to you.
