• Nationals of Third Countries

• Exemption from visa requirements (Visumfreiheit)

First off, you should check whether a VISA is necessary for you. This list gives you an overview of nationalities who do not need a VISA to enter or stay Austria (for less than 90 days).

If you do require a VISA, WU recommends you getting the travel visa C (also know as “Schengen visa”). You can apply for this visa at an Austrian embassy in your country. For detailed information please have a look at the OeAD website.

Make sure to get the VISA on time, the issuance takes several weeks. If you need an official letter of acceptance (WU invitation letter) to show to the authorities it is in the student’s responsibility to request one from the ISU^WU program management.

If you have any questions regarding the ISU^WU, please don't hesitate to e-mail or call the program managemer Ms. Sarina Gludovatz or the ISU staff member Ms. Mona Wagner.
