Travel to Austria
Entry Visa
Citizens of EU (European Union) and EEA (European Economic Community) member countries enjoy free passage within the EU and EEA zones. Currently, only time-restricted, transitional permits are in place for the free movement of labor and services across borders with Bulgaria and Rumania. For purposes of a short sojourn, citizens of certain countries, among them, US, Australian, Israeli, Japanese, and Canadian passport holders do not require a visa (“visa-free entry”). Entry requirements for citizens of all nations are listed at the Austrian Foreign Ministry‘s website.
A travel visa entitles the bearer to a short-time business or leisure visit within the Schengen area for a total duration of up to three months within a six-month period. However, travel visas do not entitle the bearer to seek gainful employment. Visas are issued by the respective Austrian authority abroad (Embassy or Consulate). Visas cannot be obtained, renewed or extended in Austria.
