Hello, it will take a long time for me to get a visa I hope it worked this time I am 67 years old for older people it is difficult Unfortunately, I don't know any foreign language I have a Vasco device with which you can translate well I was already in Thailand in 2019
I am very happy with the app, it is easy to understand and use.
I didn't get my results of traveling to Austria until less than a week before my trip. It told me I had to quarantine for 10 days when I was only going to be there for 7 for a ski trip. The results were very vague and inconsistent with the covid rules on the Austrian website. Needless to say, I had to cancel my trip that had been rescheduled twice over the past two years due to covid. I am out $2000 because of the last minute notice and inconsistent answers. I want my money back!
Its been 14 days and it has not yet arrived it said 7-10 days delivery
Thank you for giving me the chance to give my honest opinion about my request for Pre-Travel Clearance. What happened is a clear evidence of maximum rating I marked for the services. It didn’t pass 24 hours from the time when I started to apply for until I got the approval. Communication with ivisa team was at any hour within the 24 hours making so the process very efficient. Thank you ivisa team!
Very efficient. Passport photos processed in one day. Will receive hard copy in 2 days
Austria visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about Austria visas.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need an Austria Schengen Visa?
If your nationality requires a visa to enter Austria and is not on the visa-free list, you’ll need a Schengen Visa to enter Austria and all other Schengen member states for tourism or business.
Can I apply for an Austria Schengen Visa online?
While you can start the process and fill out the application form online through iVisa, the Schengen rules require you to attend an in-person appointment for biometric collection (fingerprints and photo) and to submit your physical documents at a consulate or visa center.
How will I receive the Austria Schengen Visa?
After the Austrian authorities process your application, you will receive your passport back with the visa sticker attached, ready for your trip. You can also find a copy of your Schengen Visa confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.
How long can I stay in Austria?
The standard short-stay visa (Type C) allows you to stay for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period in the Schengen Area. This applies to the entire Schengen Zone, not just Austria. If you have a multiple-entry visa, you must still adhere to the 90/180-day rule.
Can I extend my stay in Austria?
Schengen Visa stay extensions are rarely granted. You can generally only extend your visa in cases of force majeure (e.g., natural disasters or flight cancellations), humanitarian reasons, or serious personal reasons that prevent you from leaving. You must apply at the local Foreigners' Authority before your visa expires.
Do children/minors need an Austria Schengen Visa?
Yes. Every traveler, including infants and minors, requires their own visa. For minors, the application must be signed by both parents/legal guardians, and a birth certificate must be provided along with a notarized travel consent form if the child is traveling alone or with only one parent. You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session.
What is the difference between a Schengen Visa and ETIAS?
The Schengen Visa is for travelers who are not visa-exempt. The ETIAS (launching late 2026) is a digital travel authorization for citizens of visa-exempt countries (like the US, UK, and Canada). If you currently need a visa to enter Austria, you will continue to need a Schengen Visa.
