Entry & Residence (VISA)

Depending on the length of your stay, your nationality (third-country national or EU/EEA/Swiss national) and – if applicable – residence title(s) you currently hold, the requirements for entry and residence may differ.

Please make sure to take care of these matters as early as possible to ensure your lawful stay in Austria so that you can start your studies in time.

Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation (OeAD) offers a database with information on entry and residence available in German and English, which is intended to guide international students (third-country nationals and EU/EEA/Swiss nationals) on the topics related to the required residence documents for their planned stay in Austria.

OeAD Database on Entry and Residence

Upon arrival in Austria also consider the mandatory registration of your place of residence. Please refer to the information provided by OeAD.
