Visa Changes 2025

New Updates to Austria’s Student Visa Requirements (2025)

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)
