About Austria

Austria is a prominent EU member nation. It's a landlocked country in Central Europe and is a federal republic with a mixed economic system. The economy comprises a variety of private freedoms in combination with government regulation and centralized financial planning.

Austria is one of the most prosperous ones of EU member states. Hence, Austrian immigration is suitable for those planning to grow their career and life. The country is heavily industrialized, and the service sector has great potential. So, skilled workers arriving on an Austrian work visa have a great prospect.

Austria is a country of interest for those who arrive here on an Austria visit visa or Austria work visa.

Why an Austria visa?

To travel in Austria for a short trip of fewer than 90 days, an individual needs an Austrian Schengen visa as it is a part of the Schengen Area of European countries. If an individual intends to stay longer than 90 days for work or study reasons, they will require an Austrian work or study visa.

 

With one Schengen visa, an individual can travel to 27 other countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
