The Austria Student, Research & Internship Visa is for studies, research or an internship in Austria. For short stays a Schengen Type C visa applies; stays beyond 6 months require an Austrian residence permit (Aufenthaltstitel) rather than a visa.
Beyond the standard Schengen documents, the file is built around your student or research status: a certificate of admission or registration at an Austrian educational institution, confirmation of your student status, and evidence of paid tuition or a scholarship. For an internship, a permission from the Austrian Labour Market Authority (AMS), obtained by the Austrian host, is required.
Lifeset Overseas confirms whether your stay needs a visa or a residence permit and builds the file so your study or research purpose is clearly evidenced.
