"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The visa application process can take around 15 business days. Do keep in mind that no enquiries into the visa application status will be entertained before 15 days have passed.
In certain cases, this period can be extended to 30 because of the number of applications received by the Austrian embassy/consulate or the uniqueness of your situation.
Sometimes it can take up to 60 days for exceptional applications to be processed by the Austrian embassy/consulate."

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "No. Residence permits are required by those third-country nationals that plan on staying in Austria beyond 6 months.
If you intend to stay in Austria for more than six months and are not an EEA citizen or a Swiss national, then you will need to get a residence permit. However, if your period of stay is less than six months, you do not require a residence permit, but you will need a visa. Residence permits are issued for either employment, study or research."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "What if I am unable to prove sufficient financial means for my stay?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "If, for any reason, you cannot provide proof of funds covering your stay in Austria, you will have to get your Austrian host to sign a declaration of liability for you.
This declaration of liability is an Electronic letter of guarantee referred to as Elektronische Verpflichtungserklärung or Generalverpflichtungserklärung (EVE or GVE).
When an application is made for an EVE with the concerned local authority, the authority will conduct a verification of the identity of the host and review the financial status of the Austrian host. Once the verification is completed and the declaration of liability signed, an 8-digit ID-number is issued to the host. It is this ID-number that will be required by the Austrian Consulate or Embassy at the time of applying for the visa."
