Good news for future students! Austria has made small adjustments to the student residence permit requirements starting this year.
Here’s what changed:
Proof of accommodation can now be submitted later in the process
Some countries now accept digital bank statements
Processing times in Vienna and Graz have become faster (average: 4–7 weeks)
What does this mean for you?
Applications are becoming more flexible and easier to prepare — especially for international students.
