Attention: New regulations regarding the additional database entry of children in Austrian passports:
The validity of a registration of one or more children in their parent’s Austrian passports will expire with the effect of June 15, 2012. From this date on, every Austrian child requires its own personal (Austrian) passport or – if it is permitted by the entry requirements of the host country – a personal Austrian national ID card when crossing the border.
Existing registrations of children in their parent’s Austrian passports remain valid until June 14, 2012. A passport containing a child’s registration remains valid for the main passport holder only (listed with the photograph on page 2 of the document) until its expiry date, but excluding the child added in the passport.
Detailed information on further Austrian diplomatic and consular representations, on Austrian foreign policy, as well as on services offered for Austrians living abroad can be found on the website of the Austrian Federal Ministry of European and International Affairs. We invite you to browse through our website and to contact us whenever you need any advice and support.
With the effect of January 1, 2011, Student D-Visa will be charged!
