Visa Free — 119 Countries
The holder of an Austrian passport receives all privileges of citizenship of a European Union member state, including the right to cross the borders of developed countries without the need to obtain a visa.
Access to 27 European Union countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, and others).
Visa on Arrival — 44 Countries
Certain countries allow Austrian citizens to obtain entry authorization directly upon crossing the state border.
ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) — 10 Countries
An Austrian passport allows travel to 10 countries after obtaining an online visa in advance. The process of receiving entry authorization requires minimal time and eliminates the need to visit visa centers and consulates.
