Who will take care of my visa? |
Participants will need to go through the steps and cover the costs of obtaining their Schengen Visa on their own. To check if you have an Austrian Representation in your country, kindly consult this website. Should you not have an Austrian Representation, please refer to the Representations by Schengen Partner listed on this website. You should directly pay the fee for your visa. The Daily Subsistence Allowance (DSA) that will be distributed to concerned participants during the Workshop should however cover a posteriori this expense. The Civil Society Team (CST) will be sending an official invitation letter to the selected representative in order to facilitate the visa process. Representatives should liaise as soon as possible with us to let us know that they have obtained their visa or in case they have difficulties with obtaining it. |
