Austria Airport Transit Visa

Hassle-free visa processing for your travel needs.

Overview

Passengers traveling through Vienna International Airport on their way to a non-Schengen destination may require an Airport Transit Visa (Category A). This visa is required for certain nationalities who need to pass through the international transit zone of an Austrian airport but do not enter the Schengen Area.

  • Who needs an Airport Transit Visa?

Nationals from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sri Lanka, and Syria require an Airport Transit Visa when passing through an Austrian airport.

  • Who is exempt?
    • Holders of a valid UK Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).
    • Holders of a valid long-stay visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen member state.
    • Individuals covered under specific exemptions provided by the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Passengers who do not leave the international transit zone of the airport during their layover generally do not require a visa, except for nationals of the above-listed countries who are not exempt.
