Study In Austria

Austria is not only located at the center of Europe – the country has also played an important role in European history, being an integral part in shaping the Europe we know today.

Austria itself is well-known for its magnificent winter sports scene in the Arlberg region, birthplace of modern Alpine skiing, and Innsbruck, in the foothills of the Alps. However, the whole of Austria is mostly mountainous which makes for stunning scenery and endless walking possibilities throughout the year.

 

Study in Austria

It may be relatively small, but there are many reasons to study in Austria, including a number of universities which rank among the world’s best.In terms of area, Austria is no bigger than the US state of Maine, and in terms of population, it is home to fewer people than London or Paris – but Austria should not be judged by its size.

Universities in Austria are highly international. More than 15% of the total tertiary enrolment in the country is made up of international students, rising up to more than 20% if only advanced research programs are considered.

In fact, according to the OECD, 1.6% of all international students worldwide study in Austria – not a bad figure at all for a nation of such diminutive proportions.

Visa Process for Austria Student Visa

After having the attestation of your documents from the Embassy (this process takes 4-8 weeks and some time more than this time), and the admission letter from the university, you can start your visa application. Application for Austrian study visa is called “Application for Residence Permit”. You apply for the visa (Residence Permit) and once your application is approved (It usually takes 4-6 weeks but not guaranteed), the embassy will call you to submit Schengen visa form. After the submission of Schengen visa form, along with your passport and the visa fees, you can get your visa in 10 days.

The form for Residence Permit Application is in German. Our team will help and guide you to fill out this form and get residence permit.

The visa (Residence Permit) fee is around 80 Euros, which you have to submit while submitting your application (along with the proof of finances, proof of accommodation, proof of travel insurance, etc.). You will pay almost the same amount for the application for Schengen Visa, at the last step.

Residence permit application is essential for students who are coming to study in Austria for a course of study having a length for more than six months. Students who want to come to Austria for less than six months do not need to apply for Residence Permit.
