Your documents and the visa
Full legalisation
Austria does not accept apostilles from Malaysia. 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-free entry
Citizens of Malaysia can enter Austria without a visa for up to 90 days and apply for the residence permit at the immigration office there (the MA 35 in Vienna). The OeAD still recommends applying from home.
Processing time
Usually 4 to 8 weeks for applicants from Malaysia; the legal maximum is 90 days. Waiting for an embassy appointment: ~2 weeks.
Specific to Malaysia
- Ministry of Education attestation
- Notarized German translation
- Police clearance from PDRM
