Student residence permit
Study longer than 6 months requires the "Aufenthaltsbewilligung – Student" residence permit. You apply at the Austrian embassy before travelling, with the admission letter, insurance, a housing contract and proof of funds.
Student life
Students live in student residences (Studentenheim) or share a flat. A semester ticket makes public transport in Vienna inexpensive, and student status brings discounts at museums and theatres.
