Business Visa – Austria

Hassle-free visa processing for your travel needs.

Overview

Individuals traveling to Austria for business-related activities such as meetings, negotiations, training, or professional events must apply for a Schengen Business Visa. This visa is required for those visiting Austrian businesses or attending conferences, fairs, workshops, or company-organized events.

Important:

  • Every Business Visa application must include an invitation letter from an Austrian company or business.
  • If no business invitation is available, applicants must apply under the Tourist Visa category.

Eligibility

Applicants must meet the following criteria to apply for an Austria Business Visa:

  • Hold a valid passport or travel document.
  • Possess a valid UK residency permit. Short-stay C-type UK visas are not accepted.
  • Applying for a short-stay Schengen visa for business purposes, meetings, conferences, or professional events.

Processing Time

Visa applications are generally processed within 10 working days from the date the Embassy or Consulate receives the complete application. Processing times may be extended if additional scrutiny is required.

During peak seasons, processing times may increase. Applicants are advised to submit their visa applications at least two weeks before their travel date, or earlier during peak periods.

Your Visa, Our Priority – With our express appointment scheduling and expert guidance, your visa process is handled with ease.
