Do I need a visa for Austria from Mongolia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Mongolian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Austria. The adult fee is typically €90.
Mongolia is not on the Schengen visa-exempt list. A Mongolian traveller planning a tourist trip to Austria must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C), valid for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The application is lodged before departure.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Mongolian nationals are subject to the Schengen visa requirement. For a tourist stay in Austria of up to 90 days, you need the uniform Type C visa. Austria must be your main destination (or your first point of entry when durations are equal) for the application to fall under the Austrian authorities.
How and where to apply
The Mongolian applicant lodges the file at the competent Austrian embassy or its external partner (VFS Global). As Austria does not always keep a dedicated mission in Ulaanbaatar, a regional embassy or a visa partner may cover Mongolia. You book an appointment, complete the Schengen form, provide biometrics and submit in person. The BMEIA portal states the competent centre.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid at least three months beyond your intended departure, the signed form, a compliant photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, accommodation and flight bookings, proof of sufficient funds and an itinerary. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult; confirm the amount on the official Austrian source.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply several weeks ahead and no earlier than six months before departure. A complete file showing ties to Mongolia (employment, family, property) lowers the risk of refusal. Check the official source for any health entry requirement, such as a yellow-fever certificate if you transit through a risk area.
Common mistakes
Do not apply in the wrong country: if Austria is not your main destination, apply to the consulate of the country where you spend the most time. Other errors include insurance below €30,000, a passport with insufficient validity, or bookings that do not match the itinerary. Always confirm the required documents and current fee on bmeia.gv.at.
