Your documents and the visa
Full legalisation
Austria does not accept apostilles from Kosovo. Your documents need full legalisation: certification by your foreign ministry, then legalisation at the Austrian embassy. This takes longer than an apostille, so start early.
Visa D required
Citizens of Kosovo apply at the Austrian embassy in Pristina before travelling to Austria.
Processing time
Usually 4 to 8 weeks for applicants from Kosovo; the legal maximum is 90 days. Waiting for an embassy appointment: ~2 weeks.

- Notarized German translation
- Police clearance certificate
