Who requires a Visa

Citizens of EU member states, European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland do not need a visa for entering the Republic of Austria.

Nationals of other countries might require a visa in order to enter the Schengen Area or the Austrian territory.

Please check the information on whether you require a visa or not on the  website of the Federal Ministry of the Interior .

Foreigners who are not nationals of an EEA state or Switzerland and who wish to pursue gainful employment or a short-term activity similar to gainful employment (e.g. internship) always require a visa (see also “Temporary work visa”).

Nationals of those states for which the visa requirement has been lifted by means of an EU regulation are entitled to visa-free entry to Austria for a maximum of 90 days per 180 days in case of no gainful employment.

Visa Categories

Visa c (short-stay visa).

The Schengen visa C is intended for touristic, business or visiting purposes (without gainful employment) for a maximum stay of 90 days per 180 days.

If a stay of more than 90 days is planned, you should apply for a visa D, which entitles the holder to stay in Austria up to six months.

Each application for a visa is subject to a case-by-case examination by the competent Consulate.

Holders of a Schengen visa are in principle entitled to enter and stay in the Schengen States presumed that the requirements of Art. 6 Schengen Borders Code are fulfilled and the visa is not subject to territorial restrictions.

The Schengen States are:

  • Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the non-EU members Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

Travellers can obtain the visa application form free of charge at the respective Consulate, or find the link to download the application form under section “ Forms” (see "How do I make an application" in the left Navigation) . 

There are special provisions for family members of EEA citizens and Swiss citizens entitled to freedom of movement. Please find the respective information under the following  link .

Visa A (airport transit visa)

In principle, foreigners who do not leave the international transit zone of an airport during a stopover, a flight segment or international flights do not require a visa.

However, nationals of the countries listed in the following require a visa (category “A”) also to stay in the international transit zone of an Austrian airport unless they are covered by an exemption: 

  • Afghanistan, Bangladesch, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethopia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Syria

Further information on visa requirements and exemptions can be found on the  website of the Federal Ministry of the Interior . 

D visa (national visa)

Visa D are subject to Austrian national legislation entitling holders to stays of 91 days to 6 months in Austria and can be issued for one or more entries.

Please note that an extension of a D visa in Austria is not possible. In the case of an intended stay in Austria for more than 6 months, a  residence permit   must be applied for.

The issuance of a visa D depends on the information provided by the applicant and thus on whether the intended stay in Austria for more than 90 days seems to be sufficiently documented. In exceptional cases, it is also possible to issue a visa D with a validity up to 12 months (for example on the basis of an international agreement).

A visa D issued by Austria or another Schengen State entitles the holder,to move freely in the territory of the other Schengen States for up to 90 days per 180 days, given that the holder does not plan to take up employment, is in possession of a valid travel document  fulfils the relevant conditions of the Schengen Borders Code (Article 6 (1) (a), (c) and (e) of Regulation (EU) 2016/399 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders) and is not on the national list of alerts of the Member State concerned.

Please note that rights acquired in one Schengen State on the basis of national regulations cannot automatically be transferred to another Schengen State. For example, study permits and work permits are in principle limited to the issuing Schengen State only.  

Examples to apply for a Visa

Visa for long-term visiting trips.

For an intended stay in Austria longer than 90 days, but not exceeding 6 months, e.g. for family visits or course participation, it is possible to apply for a visa D. Corresponding documents to demonstrate the purpose of the stay must be submitted.

Visa for the collection of a residence permit

Persons granted a residence permit have to collect the residence card from the competent authority in Austria. If a visa is required, it is necessary to apply for a visa D for entry to collect the residence permit within three months of notification by the competent Consulate.

Job seeker visa

Highly qualified third-country nationals who wish to come to Austria to look for employment and subsequently possibly apply for a Red-White-Red Card for highly qualified persons can apply for a D visa to search for a job (“job seeker visa”). The visa D is issued for six months. Please note that holding this type of visa, employment is not permitted.

For further information on the job seeker visa and the Red-White-Red Card, please visit the   Federal Government’s official information website on migration to Austria .

In addition, in case of intended dependent employment, the required documents stipulated in the Act Governing the Employment of Foreign Nationals, and in case of intended self-employment, the relevant documents have be submitted.

In case of any questions about the Austrian labour market in general or about necessary labour market permits, please contact Public Employment Service Austria (AMS) directly:

Public Employment Service Austria (AMS)

  • web: Public Employment Service Austria (AMS) www.ams.at

Requirements for issuing a visa

The visa requirements for Schengen visa are laid down in the EU Visa Code, the provisions for visa D are laid down in the Aliens’ Police Act (FPG). The competent Consulate examines the visa applications if the conditions for issuing a visa are fulfilled. The competent Consulate decides on each application individually, taking into account all the circumstances of the individual case.

There is no legal entitlement to a visa.

A visa application is admissible if:

  • the visa application has been lodged at the competent Consulate,
  • the visa application has been lodged within a period of six months and not later than 15 calendar days before the intended start of the trip,
  • a correctly completed visa application form is presented,
  • a valid passport not older than 10 years, valid for three months after expiry of the visa and with two free pages, is presented,
  • an  ICAO -compliant passport photo is presented,
  • consent is given to the collection of fingerprints (unless already stored within the last 59 months), and
  •  the visa fee has been paid.

Once admissibility has been established, the Consulate examines the visa application and the following conditions for issuing a visa must be positively established for each individual visa applicant:

  • Plausibility and verifiability of the purpose of the trip to Austria,
  • Means of substance for living and travel expenses from own assets or income,
  • Willingness of the visa holder to leave the Schengen area before the visa expires,
  • Presentation of an adequate and valid travel medical insurance, covering the period of the intended stay, or, if a multiple-entry visa is applied for, the period of the first intended visit with a minimum coverage of € 30,000.

If it is not possible to prove financing by funds from one’s own assets, financial resources can be proven by an electronic declaration of sponsorship submitted by a person residing in Austria. Please visit the  website of the Federal Ministry of the Interior  for further information on the possibility of submitting a declaration of sponsorship.

Persons whose entry into Austria and the Schengen area would endanger security or public order or who do not fulfil one or more of the above-mentioned requirements, a visa will not be granted.

Applicants, whose visa application were refused, can file a legal remedy at the competent Consulate (“Vorstellung”) respectively submit an appeal to the Federal Administrative Court. Please read the information on the appeal procedure on the refusal form. For further information visit the  website of the Federal Administrative Court .

  • web: Federal Administrative Court www.bvwg.gv.at

Consular territorial competence

As a general rule, the Consulate of the Schengen State in which the sole or main destination is located is competent for examining and deciding on an application for a Schengen visa. In case no main destination can be identified as visits to different Schengen States are planned, the Consulate of the Schengen State through whose external borders the applicant intends to enter the territory of the Schengen State is the competent Consulate for issuing a Schengen visa.

Visa for travels to Austria have to be applied for at the competent   Austrian Consulate , which is placed in the country where the applicant legally resides.

In some countries, the Austrian Consulates also offer the possibility of submitting visa applications to an external service provider. For a service fee, the service provider receives applications and forwards them to the competent Austrian Consulate for examining and decision. An external service provider plays no role in the decision-making process itself!

If there is no Austrian Consulate in the applicant’s home country, a Schengen visa can also be applied for at a Schengen embassy representing Austria if one exists.

Where is a  Schengen representation  in place?

Please note that the representing Schengen embassies may not accept the “electronic declaration of sponsorship” submitted in Austria. The form in which a declaration of sponsorship is accepted by the representing Schengen embassies can be obtained from the competent Austrian Consulate or the representing Schengen embassy. Please note that if you apply to a Schengen embassy representing Austria, this embassy is exclusively responsible for the proceedings. An appeal against the decision also depends on the legal regulations of the respective representing Schengen State.

Visas D and visa for employment can only be applied for at the competent Austrian Consulate. 

Specific information on making an appointment, you can find under "How to make an Application".

General information:

The use of so-called visa agencies, which demand large sums of money to obtain visas, is explicitly warned against because their services are often linked to dubious practices.

Since there are often cases of fraud in connection with Internet acquaintances, transferring money to unknown persons is explicitly warned against. Any claims that a large amount of money is required in order to obtain a visa are false. 

In case of doubt, please contact the Consulate .

Safety and Security

Terrorism:  Some terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – against soft targets, such as:

  • High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
  • Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
  • Places of worship
  • Shopping malls and markets
  • Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

Crime:  Austria has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe and violent crime is rare. Crimes of opportunity involving theft of personal property do occur. These crimes frequently occur in tourist areas, including the plaza around St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the nearby pedestrian shopping areas in Vienna’s First District.

  • Beware of  pickpockets  on public transportation and in bus or train stations. Trains between Vienna and Budapest, Prague, or Rome are high-risk.
  • Do not leave bags unattended.
  • Do not carry your passport when sightseeing within Vienna; lock it in your hotel safe or other secure area unless needed for travel. Instead, carry a photocopy of your passport at all times along with a second form of ID such as a U.S. driver’s license.

Demonstrations  are common. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events. 

  • Demonstrations can be unpredictable, avoid areas around protests and demonstrations.

Local hospitals will not settle accounts directly with American insurance companies.  You must pay the hospital’s bill and later claim reimbursement from the insurance carrier in the United States.  The Austrian Medicine Import Act prohibits the import of most prescription drugs into Austria. However, non- European Union residents are allowed medicines as part of their personal luggage, but only the quantity required for the period of time you’ll be in the country. Travelers may not receive medicine by mail from abroad while in Austria. If a particular medication is not available in Austria, an Austrian pharmacy may be able to order the medication prescribed by a local physician from a pharmacy in the United States.

We do not pay medical bills.  Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance:  Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most health care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our  webpage  for more information on insurance coverage overseas. Visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  for more information on the type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.

The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of doctors and hospitals on its  website . We do not endorse or recommend any specific medical provider or clinic.

We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

  • Patients bear all costs for transfer to or between hospitals.

Medical Tourism and Elective Surgery

  • Medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry. People seeking health care overseas should understand that medical systems operate differently from those in the United States and are not subject to the same rules and regulations. Anyone interested in traveling for medical purposes should consult with their local physician before traveling and visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  website for information on Medical Tourism, the risks of medical tourism, and what you can do to prepare before traveling to Austria.
  • We strongly recommend  supplemental insurance  to cover medical evacuation in the event of unforeseen medical complications.

Pharmaceuticals       

  • Many medications that are common in the United States are illegal in Austria, even with a prescription. Austria does not allow the importation of any pharmaceuticals that contain narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances.

Please review the medication rules on the websites of the  Austrian Embassy  in Washington, D.C., and the  Austrian Health Ministry .

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:   Road conditions in Austria are excellent. During the winter, roads in alpine areas may become dangerous due to snow, ice, or avalanches. Some mountain roads may be closed for extended periods. Snow tires or chains may be required in certain provinces or mountain towns. If you are renting a car in winter months and driving to a ski resort, check with your car rental company to ensure your vehicle is properly equipped.

Be alert when you drive through autobahn construction zones, particularly on the A-1 East/West Autobahn. Traffic information  and road conditions are broadcast on the  English-language channel, FM4 (frequency depends on location). Traffic information is posted on digital signs, and trackable in popular mobile apps. Emergency roadside help and information may be reached by dialing  123  or  120  for vehicle assistance and towing services (Austrian automobile clubs),  122  for the fire department,  133  for police, and  144  for ambulance. The European emergency line is  112 .

Traffic Laws : Please see Austria’s  travel webpage  for detailed information related to driving. Below are key laws to consider:

  • Penalties for  driving under the influence  are stricter than in many U.S. states.
  • Display an “ autobahn vignette ” highway-tax sticker  on the inside of the vehicle’s windshield. The fine for failing to display a valid sticker is EUR 120 ($150 USD), paid in cash “on the spot.”
  • The  maximum speed  limit is 130 km/hr (81mph) on the Austrian autobahns.
  • It is  against the law  to use a  hand-held cell  phone while driving.
  • It is  against the law  to turn  right on red .
  • It is  mandatory  for cars on Austrian motorways to pull over when an emergency vehicle is approaching. On two-lane roads or larger, vehicles pull over to either far left or far right to create an emergency corridor down the center.  
  • You could be issued a substantial fine  for not usin  winter tires  on your vehicle between November 1 and April 15, depending where you are driving. Your car  insurance is void  if you are in an accident, and your vehicle does not havewinter tires.
  • Read your rental contract closely.You may be  arrested, fined , and/or charged with attempted auto theft if you try to drive a rental car in countries listed as “prohibited” on the car rental contract.
  • A U.S. driver's license  alone is  not sufficient to drive in Austria.  A U.S. driver's license must be accompanied by an international driving permit or by an official translation of the U.S. driver's license, which can be obtained in the United States at AAA, or at one of the Austrian automobile clubs (ÖAMTC or ARBÖ). U.S. citizens who intend to take up residence in Austria must obtain an Austrian driver’s license after six months of arriving.

Public Transportation:  Austrian Federal Railways ( Österreichische Bundesbahnen ) offers train service to all major towns in Austria and major cities in Europe. There is also an extensive network of Österreichische Post  bus lines . All major cities have excellent public transportation systems. Click  here  for Vienna’s public transportation website.

See our  road safety page  for more information. Visit the website of Austria’s  national tourist office  and national authority responsible for road safety.

Aviation Safety Oversight:   The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of Austria’s Civil Aviation Authority as compliant with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Austria’s air carrier operations.

austria travel to philippines

With its stunning Alpine peaks and placid crystal clear lakes, Austria is the epitome of idyllic . Positioned right in the middle of Europe, the German-speaking country boasts some of the most beautiful train journeys around, while its capital , Vienna , has been ranked as the most livable city on the planet.

When one talks about Austria, the movie “Sound of Music” will always be a remembrance of how the phenomenal scenes were made in the lush surroundings of Salzburg, Austria. 

Not to mention, Austria is also the birthplace of great classical composers such as Franz Schubert, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, and a whole lot more. 

As with any country, there is much to learn about the people and culture before moving there and starting a new chapter.

An Overview of Schengen Visa for Short-term Stay in Austria

Austria is a part of the Schengen zone, composed of 26 European countries. To enter Austria (and any other countries in the Schengen zone), you must obtain a Schengen Visa first.  

austria travel to philippines

If you are from the Philippines, you do need a Schengen visa to be able to enter and stay in Austria that will allow you to stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. 

If you really want to visit one of the most livable countries in the world, here’s a guide on how to apply for a Schengen Visa to Austria with your Philippine Passport.

Who is Eligible to Apply for a Schengen Visa to Austria?

If you are a Philippine passport holder and you are planning to apply for a Schengen visa, you must fulfill any of these conditions:

  • Austria is your main destination . It means that you will visit Austria only and have no plans of visiting any other Schengen country ( sa Austria ka lang pupunta at mag-stay ); or
  • You will stay the longest in Austria . You have plans of traveling around the Schengen Area, but Austria is where you will be staying the longest. ( Pupunta ka pa sa ibang Schengen countries, pero sa Austria ang pinaka-mahabang stay mo ).
  • The main purpose of your travel is in Austria . You have plans of visiting other Schengen countries, but the focus of your travel is in Austria.
  • Austria is your port of entry . You have plans of visiting multiple Schengen countries for the same number of days, but Austria is your first point of entry.

Important Documents to Prepare

First things first—you need documents to support your visa application! For this, you will need to prepare these documents:

Note: Prepare two sets of each document—one original set and one photocopy.

1.  A duly filled out and signed  Schengen Visa Application Form for Austria . You may download the form by signing up  here .

How to Apply for an Austria Schengen Visa with your Philippine Passport 01

2.  Two current biometrical passport photos (35-45 mm width) –  have your passport photo taken. The embassy is very strict on their photo specifications. Fortunately, they have a  page  on their official website dedicated to explaining this. Bring at least two copies or more, just in case. One photo should be glued to the application form. The second photo will be returned to you.

  • Taken with nothing covering the face, without sunglasses or contact lenses, or a head covering unless worn for religious or medical reasons.
  • The subject should have their mouth closed  (no grinning, frowning or raised eyebrows).  

After which, paste your photo on each of the electronic visa form that you completed online  (1 original and 1 photocopy of the form).

3.   Original Passport and a Photocopy of it  as well as the Bio Page– The embassy requires that your passport is valid for at least another three months on the date the visa application is submitted. It also must have two empty pages for them to stamp your passport. If you have renewed your passport, bring your old one/s with you. These are needed especially if you have previous overseas trips.

Look: 33 Countries Where Philippine Passport Holders Can Visit Without a Visa

4.   Travel plan indicating your destination (in this case, Austria) , route, proof of accommodation (hotel or apartment booking, etc.), and a round-trip flight reservation with dates and flight numbers showing the entry and exit from Austria.

Important reminders:

  • You do not need to pay for the flight ticket right away because you are only applying for a visa and have no guarantee that it will be approved. You’re essentially just showing them that a flight itinerary from the Philippines to Austria is available on your preferred travel date. We can assist you with a dummy ticket for your flight reservation requirement; get it here !

austria travel to philippines

  • The embassy typically asks for a cover letter along with other documents ; the cover letter details the purpose of your journey to Austria plus your complete itinerary indicating all of the places you are planning to visit while you’re there. The cover letter is crucial to the success of your application; a well-thought-out and well-written cover letter gets you a higher chance of visa approval. Let us take care of your cover letter (and others such as sponsorship, invitation, and appeal), get our letter service here !

5.  Proof of accommodation or Hotel reservations  – you would need to show hotel bookings, but this does not mean that you must pay for your hotel reservations this early. 

In the cover letter,  explain your reason for visit , where you will stay ( did you get a hotel accommodation? Are you staying over at someone’s place? ), how you will fund the trip ( do you have enough in your savings to finance your travel? ), and your day-to-day itinerary.  Outline every specific activity you are planning to take —places to go, tours to join, people to meet/visit, etc.

Also, through this cover letter, submit an informal declaration explaining your intention to return to the Philippines before your visa expires. Make sure you sign the cover letter.

Explain and submit proofs for your reason to return:

  • Do you have a young child in the Philippines you need to go back for and take care of? Submit the child’s birth certificate.
  • Do you have senior citizen parents who are counting on your return? Submit a copy of their senior citizen IDs.
  • Are you an employee or a student and must return for your job or schooling? Submit copies of employment or school documents. We will discuss more about proof of strong ties later in this article. As already stated above, you will also need to submit your flight reservation and proof of accommodation.

Do not forget the invitation letter from the host or your partner  based in Austria. In this letter, the host or your partner must indicate the exact address where the host lives, as well as the purpose and full duration of your visit to your host’s country.

If you are visiting your immediate family member or a close relative , you have to provide a  proof of the urgency of that visit . It could be a marriage celebration, birth of a child, serious health problem, or funeral.

Proof of strong ties or deep-rootedness is also extremely important. One of the most common reasons for visa denial is the lack of strong ties; make sure you provide a compelling reason to return to the Philippines.

7.  Proof of vaccination – As most European countries have decided to welcome vaccinated travelers during the COVID-19 pandemic. To know more about the vaccines recognised for travel in Austria, you can read it here . 

8. Proof of financial capacity  to show that you (or your sponsor) can support your expenses for the whole duration of your travel.

  • For sponsored travel:  Your host or sponsor declares that he or she will be solely responsible for all expenses incurred during your trip.
  • Bank statements  – must show records of the past six months. A bank statement shows your transactions in your account at a specific period. It will show debits (withdrawals, payments, taxes, service fees) and credits (deposits, interest earned.) Bank Statements can also be seen online especially if you have a registered account. There is no signature for the manager or a bank officer.
  • Bank Certificate  – it is a confirmation by the branch manager or a bank officer that you have an existing account in their bank. It shows the account number, the type, and other details such as the opening date of your account, your account balance as of the date of request, and your average daily balance. 
  • Other proof of income  (supporting documents) – although it is not really required, you can submit invoices and pay slip equivalent to prove that you earn enough to support this trip financially. 
If you maintain a bank account for a long time, better maintain it . Kahit na may sponsor ka, of course, plus points pa din sa visa application mo if idadagdag mo din bank statements mo, payslips from our employer, and other proof na financially capable ka din and most importantly, it proves deep rootedness as well.
Sponsorship Letter which should state the fact that he/ she is inviting you to come   over, your relationship with each other, and that he/ she is willing to sponsor you during your trip. Of course, it needs to have a documentary proof. 
Original Affidavit of Support , legalized and notarized by a Notar and by a Landgericht at the municipality in Austria where the sponsor’s address is registered. Afterwhich, send the document to the Philippine Consulate in Austria to have it authenticated.
The sponsor’s copies of: passport including the biodata page and travel history   (passport stamps) and ID Card or Resident ID card
Recent proof of income of the sponsor   (3 last months’ salary slips, etc.)
Proof of relationship with the sponsor   (pictures together, Birth or Marriage certificate, and screenshot of chat conversations)

To know more about additional requirements that you would need from your sponsor, check out my YouTube video below:

9. Proof of Civil Status  – Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Death Certificate of the spouse, etc. These documents must be issued on security paper (SECPA) by the Philippine Statistics Authority, see   http://www.psaserbilis.com.ph .  

Note:  The birth certificate does not need to be authenticated by the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs.

10. Evidence of your rootedness in the Philippines  – Evidence of deep-rootedness a.k.a. strong family and social ties to your home country, is  one of the most critical requirements when applying for a Schengen Visa . It is what the Consul will look for in your visa application. So how do you prove that you are firmly established in the Philippines and that you will go back to your home country?

You need to convince them that you will return to the Philippines.  Insufficient evidence of deep-rootedness to your home country is also one of the chief reasons for visa denial.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Apply for a Schengen Visa to Austria

STEP 1:   Determine the type of Austrian Schengen visa you need to apply  for and have a look at the checklist of requirements to gather all the documents that you need to submit. Each application must comply with the guidelines applicable for your visa category. 

STEP 2:  Complete the Schengen Visa Requirements  stated above.

Some important notes .

  • The documents must be arranged in the same order as the list above. Even the photocopies of your stamps and visas must be in the same order as they appear on your passports.
  • Place all the requirements in a long brown envelope. Write your last name, first name and contact number in bold capital letters on the upper left corner of the envelope.
  • The original copies will be returned to you on the same day of application.

STEP 3: Book your appointment here and show up on that day together with all your requirements. Book an appointment at the Visa Application Center of your choice. There are two locations:

Visa Application Center – Manila Ground Flr., Ecoplaza Building 2305 Don Chino Roces Ave, Extension, Makati, Metro Manila

Austria Visa Application Center – Cebu Unit 503, 5th Floor, Keppel Center Samar Loop cor. Cardinal Rosales Avenue Cebu Business Park, Cebu City

STEP 4: On the day of the appointment, proceed to the VFS Application Center and submit the requirements in person . Personal appearance is mandatory. Failure to show up means forfeiture of your appointment slot. Note that applications with incomplete requirements will not be processed. Your biometrics will also be taken. Don’t forget to pay the Visa Fee and VFS Service fee

STEP 5:   You can track your application status  here .

STEP 6: Wait for the result and then pick up your passport —the visa center will let you know when your passport is ready for collection. You also have the option of paying an additional fee for the courier to have your passport mailed to you.

If your visa is approved, you will receive a sticker visa on one of your passport’s pages. Congratulations! If your visa is denied, a white paper enclosed in your passport will specify the reason for denial. You may either appeal or reapply, in this case.

Visa processing usually takes 15 days, but it can take less time in some cases. There were also times when it could take up to a month or more, especially if they requested additional documentation and verification. Consider this when submitting your application; to be safe, apply for the visa at least one month before your intended travel date; plan ahead of time.

Quick Facts

  • Validity of Visa : Short-stay Schengen visas allow people to stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days every six-month period

  • For 6-13 years:  PHP 2,196 (EURO 40)

Common Reasons for Schengen Visa Rejection

Here are the common reasons a Schengen Visa application gets denied:

  • No clear travel purpose —a detailed cover letter is a must!
  • Lack of strong ties —reevaluate your application and prove why you must return to your home country!
  • Insufficient travel insurance coverage —make sure you get the right policy!
  • No proof of financial means —convince them that you can afford your trip! Provide bank or credit card statements, VUL, investment portfolio, etc.
  • Passport does not have 2 free pages —where will they attach the visa if your passport pages are already full? You should get a new passport before applying for a visa if there are no more available pages on your old one!

Top 5 airlines serving from Austria to the Philippines

Only one Hindi movie from LA to Taipei and same movie from Taipei to Singapore Why we call it entertainment when I have to watch one movie for 18 hours flying ?

EVA Air flight from Wien to Taipei is good, but the on-ground service to arrival gate is bad.

The flight from Taipei to LAX was the first time we encountered rudeness from the crew. From the gate agents to the in flight crew. We had received such wonderful service going to Bali and on our Bali to Taipei flight that it shocked us when the gate agent was rude and then the rudeness continued on the flight to LAX.

The flight was ok. The person who brings tea and coffee totally forgot about us or just walked past at both meals. And special attention is given if you are Taiwanese

The quality of the food is pretty good. Thank you, EVA Air.

Fast and efficient boarding. Flight was on time. Service was very good for our long flight. First time flying with this airline and I would highly recommend.

It was a pleasant fly with Eva Air from NYC to Taipei. The crew were friendly and the food was exceeded my expectation.

Overall the flight was what might be expected for a long haul flight to Asia in economy class. The cabin crew was attentive and the food was good. Boarding was fairly fast and easy. The one thing I found frustrating was the EVA app. It is terrible. Trying to do anything on it was almost impossible.

EVA would not help with ticket issue since they were purchased through a travel agency. Even though it was EVA ticket stock. Travel agency Budget Air didn't reissue ticket after airline change which I didn’t learn until trying to checkin on Christmas Day and there was no contact number for the agency to help. I will never use Budget Air to purchase flight again and disappointed in EVA’s refusal to help. Thankfully just under 12 hrs before departure someone from the agency was available to reissue tickets. I was starting to think we would not be flying and the stress trying to resolve was completely unacceptable.

Everything was fantastic! The crew really went above and beyond to make it a great flight. I felt cared for with EVA.

All of the staff were very helpful, polite I was very satisfied with China Airlines The food was normal for airlines but I’m sure they could do better

I would have liked to know how to order a special meal (for medical purposes) before the flight.

The flight who provided services on my row had some not-nice attitude and not smiling at all.

Very good , the weather was terrible, but i admired the professionality and politeness and care from the crew, and the excellent contition of the plane

My flight to Los Angeles was canceled Had to book another flight and you charged me extra $500 Very bad experience

Comfort was left wanting due to such a long flight, made the wife and I wish we could upgrade the seats to Business class or First Class, but did not have that option. Food was good but had very limited options and I have a dietary restriction which was difficult for the staff to accommodate since everything provided came with cheese on it. (Cheese could potentially kill me) Did not have an option to inform the staff until we were already in the air about the restriction and was not provided another option before flight departed.

Decent flight, staff was very good, especially with the turbulence during the flight due to weather. Comfort was about par with other airlines but since it was a quick flight, was not much of an issue for us.

The plane was uncomfortable. I paid extra for more legroom but the seat was still uncomfortable. Other seats on the same exact row didn’t have to pay extra but still have extra legroom. I didn’t understand why I needed to pay $170 for. It was Iike China airline just wants to make money off their passengers. It was unfair.

It was a 2 hour flight to Taiwan. Lunch was served. China Airlines goes above and beyond for their passengers.

Liked that I could pick my seat and have a special meal without an extra charge. Luggage is reasonable for overseas trip. What could have been better is boarding and leaving on time.

The rows of seats in economy class are seriously close to one another making eating and resting just about impossible - there is hardly any legroom. Anyone larger than average size would have an incredibly uncomfortable flight. I had to basically share my seat with the lady passenger next to me as she was too big to fit into her allotted seat.

Noice cancelling headphones would be better since it’s a crowded plane And kids behaviors are unavoidable

I had first class service from them. A little late taking off, but no major problem

Just happy I flew Qatar Airways awesome no wonder they are #1 in the world right now! The food was just delicious, very courteous, professional crew.

Suddenly Flight has been change by Qatar and there’s no information is there of us from Bom to Doha and counter person is behaving like Qatar owner next I will not buy Qatar and I will not suggest anyone to fly in Qatar

Online check-in doesn't work. That's why I couldn't give it full Star.

Overall it was a very good experience. Boarding was efficient and well organized. The cabin crew were excellent. The meals were tasty and quite filling. The warm bread rolls were a nice touch. Seats were comfortable even if they were a little narrow. Entertainment selection was excellent.

To many ads. 3 or 4 between each movie. All repetitive, all related to Doha which I was just passing thru.

They shld improve and provide a lunch or dinner in an international leg

Crews are very rude and unhelpful. Cramped seats in economy. Foods are useless

Only 1 time food and drinks together was offered, for total 5 hours duration drinks and snacks was never offered. For some people food choice was not available, only veg was available. No entertainment option was there. Crew members were mostly back of the flight asking each other for KitKat and chips to share between them.

Etihad flight sector is a local . .give the same quality upto destination

Lovely crew - comfortable journey despite it being an older plane.

1st time with. Etihad Airways and it was amazing from check in to crew. Great flight.

Good range of movies but lacking decent tv shows. Wifi was really expensive on this flight, considering flights under 7 hours have a $9.99 USD charge for streaming, to jump up to $24.99 for a 7 hour 40 flight seemed a little bit of a rip off. Staff are inattentive, and really need to improve on the customer experience. The new airport is fantastic, as is the new lounge, a huge upgrade from the old airport and lounge!

In my opinion, Etihad Airways is a first rate airline except for one important element. On the day before my return flights, when I chose my seats on the Etihad website I was charged an additional $55 (US) in order to sit on the aisle. I was not at all happy about this additional "hidden" charge and I felt cheated.

The staff was very nice and polite but it was very very hot and no ways to have some fresh air. It would be nice to have more time to sleep since it was a night flight

The staff was kind and polite, but it was very very hot and no ways to have some fresh air.it would be also be nice to have more time to sleep, since it was a night flight

1.Aircraft Comfort: The aircraft type was quite small with non-reclining, cramped seats that significantly lacked comfort. 2.In-flight Entertainment: There was no provision of in-flight entertainment screens or Wi-Fi for the majority of the flight. 3.Boarding Process at New Abu Dhabi Airport: Despite the move to a new airport, which promised enhanced experiences, the use of buses instead of jet bridges did not meet expectations, causing inconvenience. 4.Gate Change Communication: A last-minute gate change was poorly communicated, resulting in a long and difficult walk.

Ripped off and broken seats in Business class. Seats stink and need to request the staff for additional bedsheets. Crew if very friendly though

The flight is not bad, but the Business Lounge is not big enough for the quantity of people they accept and there is a limited options for food and beverages.

It was simply bad and on top of that my luggage hasn't been delivered until now. They can't even localize it which is just unacceptable when they are supposed to scan the bar code they put when we check in

We bought premium Economy, thinking it would be more comfortable, but the seat is so narrow ,that my legs and feet are swollen , I can't wear shoes !

The flight was delayed for almost 5 hours, but I understand that it was not up to the company, however how they could handle the situation better, they never apologized for that delay, moreover despite passengers being there for 7 hours only thing they did was to give a bowl of instant noodles, afterwards on the plane tiny snacks, people were there starting from lunch time and we’ve arrived to destination at almost midnight

Flight was delayed for 2 hours for no reason, then we spent almost an hour after boarding because of the weather conditions. If we left on time we could avoid that 😾

Italy Carrier Strike Group Joins Australia War Games, Will Visit Philippines

Reuters

By Kirsty Needham

DARWIN, Australia (Reuters) - An Italian carrier strike group on its first deployment to the Indo-Pacific region will sail through the South China Sea to the Philippines after participating in war games with U.S. allies in Australia, a senior Italian navy official said on Thursday.

The moves come amid rising tensions between China and some of its neighbours in the contested South China Sea region. About 40% of Europe's foreign trade flows through the South China Sea, where the United States, Japan, Australia and other nations have conducted joint maritime exercises they say uphold freedom of navigation. China claims almost the entire strategic waterway.

The Italian aircraft carrier Cavour is in the northern Australian town of Darwin taking part in Exercise Pitch Black this week, where Italy is contributing nearly two dozen fighter jets to the 20-nation drills with host Australia.

The United States, Britain, Japan, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea are also taking part.

It is the first time an aircraft carrier has joined the exercises, Italian Navy Rear Admiral Giancarlo Ciappina said.

Twenty-three Italian jets, including eight stealthy F-35Bs, are practising dogfights, strikes and other operations alongside its allies over huge swathes of largely unpopulated land in northern Australia.

"Pitch Black gives us a chance to work with the main F-35 communities, shoulder to shoulder," said Captain Dario Castelli, the strike group's carrier air wing commander. "In terms of deploying far from home, it is also an incredible logistics exercise for us."

After the current exercises end on Aug. 2, the 1,200-person strong Italian carrier strike group will travel to the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam and Japan, before transiting the South China Sea to the Philippines for the first time, Ciappina said.

'VERY POWERFUL TOOL'

Ciappina said his strike group did not plan to conduct any freedom of navigation operations.

The Cavour will carry out humanitarian work in the Philippines, performing surgery on children in the ship's hospital while at port in Manila, he said.

"An aircraft carrier - just being present somewhere, it has an effect, it can influence. It is a very powerful tool," Ciappina said.

Manila and Beijing have traded barbs repeatedly over jurisdiction as the the Philippines challenges China's permanent presence around strategic features inside Manila's exclusive economic zone.

Ciappina said the Italian Navy's first Indo-Pacific deployment improved its training and provided a better understanding of the region.

Although the deployment is not a NATO initiative, Italy has coordinated with the French Navy and Britain's Royal Navy, which will send ships to the region later in the year, to ensure significant capacity remains in the Mediterranean, he said.

"Everything is connected... that's why we have to also be present in the Pacific now," he said.
