To study in Austria, non-EU/EEA students must apply for a student visa (Type D) at the Austrian embassy or consulate in their home country. Required documents include a valid passport, university admission letter, proof of financial means (around €11,000 annually), health insurance, and accommodation details. Processing takes 8–12 weeks.
After arrival, register with local authorities and apply for a residence permit. EU/EEA students need only register within four months of arrival. Language proficiency proof may be required, depending on the program. Always check the Austrian embassy website for updates, as requirements can vary.
