Overview
If you intend to stay in Austria for more than 90 but less than 180 days as a student, on a business trip, applicants who pick-up their residence permit in Austria, AND you are neither an EU nor an EFTA citizen, you need a national Austrian visitor visa (Visa D). The Visa D also entitles you to stay up to 90 days, within the validity of the Visa D, to enter other Schengen countries.
Embassy of Austria has decided to cooperate with an external service provider for the collection of applications while establishing the ‘one-stop’ principle for the lodging of applications, creates derogation from the general rule that an applicant must apply at the Austrian Visa Application Center in Singapore.
