Austria Visa Information

Tourism & Short-Stay Visa Options for Visiting Austria

Austria is a top European travel destination known for its alpine scenery, classical music heritage, and historic cities like Vienna and Salzburg. Many nationalities can travel to Austria visa-free for short stays if they are part of the Schengen visa-exempt list, making entry straightforward for tourism and family visits.

Travelers who require authorization must apply for a Schengen Tourist Visa (Type C), which allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for leisure, sightseeing, and non-business purposes. Applicants typically need a valid passport, travel insurance, proof of accommodation, financial support, and a confirmed return ticket.

Visitors seeking to stay longer than the short-term limit will need to apply for a National Long-Stay Visa or Residence Permit, depending on the purpose such as study, work, or extended family stay. These permits allow individuals to experience Austria beyond a standard tourist stay.
