The Austria Family & Friends Visit Visa is a short-stay Schengen visa (Type C) for visiting relatives or friends who live in Austria, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
The heart of this application is the host: an invitation with the host's address, contact details and the period of stay, and evidence of the host's legal residence in Austria. The host can also provide an electronic letter of guarantee (EVE). The standard Schengen documents and your own funds and ties to India complete the file.
Lifeset Overseas coordinates the host's documents and your own into one consistent file built to the Austrian checklist.
