Romania to Austria
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
You may stay in Austria without a visa for up to 90 days. Stays longer than 90 days require a visa.
Austria maintains an embassy or consulate in Romania, so any applications that must be made to Austrian authorities can be handled without leaving Romania.
Can children travel on this route?
If you are under 18, you must travel with a notarised letter of parental consent and carry a copy of a parent's passport.
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, check that the travel document you plan to use is acceptable: a passport, a temporary passport or your national identity card are all accepted for entry to Austria. Make sure the document is valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry.
Travel insurance is recommended but is not a condition of entry. There is no requirement to have vaccinations for travel to Austria.
What happens at the border?
At the border, an officer may ask you to show proof of sufficient funds for your stay, proof of a return flight, and proof of a hotel booking. No arrival registration or entry card is required.
