This guide is for British citizens travelling for business or other work purposes. It explains what employers, employees, or the self-employed need to do if they need a visa or permit.

Entry requirements

If you鈥檙e going to Austria to work (or any other EU country, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein) you must make sure you meet passport and other travel requirements.听

Austria is in the Schengen area. If you鈥檙e travelling for business for up to 90 days in a 180-day period, you may be able to do some business-related activities without needing a visa or permit, such as attend business meetings. It does not matter how many countries you visit in the Schengen area. Your total stay must be no more than 90 days in every 180 days. The 180-day period keeps 鈥榬olling鈥�.听

If you鈥檙e staying for longer, or for other types of work, you may need a visa or permit.听

The Austrian authorities are responsible for setting and enforcing entry rules. They decide which activities need a visa or permit, or which may be exempt.听

If you鈥檙e working in more than one country, you need to check the entry rules of each country.听

If you need a passport, visa or permit, you should apply well in advance of travel.听

• signed in ink (a wet signature), or if they can be signed electronically (an e-signature)听
