Please, check passport and visa requirements in due time prior to your departure for Austria, which is a member state of the European Union and signed the Schengen Agreement. First-time visa applications from outside are subject to a few weeks of extra delay.

If needed, you may ask AUSTROPA INTERCONVENTION for an appropriate letter of invitation for visa purposes.
