EU or EEA citizens do not need to secure a visa if they intend to work or get an internship in Austria. Students who are going to stay in Austria for less than six months can apply for a Visa C (for stays of up to 90 days) or for a Visa D (for stays of from 91 days up to a maximum of 6 months) at the competent Austrian representative authority in their country of residence. These visas are free of charge. The following documents may be required of you when getting this type of visa:

• Invitation letter or an employment contract from the Austrian company you will be visiting. The letter should contain their company name, address, accompanied by your dates and purpose of visit.
• Fully accomplished and signed Austrian Visa Type-D Application Form
• (2) Two pieces of identical photographs that are no older than three months and taken with consideration to the ICAO Standards.
• Passport that contains at least two blank pages to be able to affix the Austrian Visa sticker. Validity of the passport should be 3 months after the date of exit from Austria or Schengen territory. The passport should be no older than 10 years as well.
• Bring copies of your previous visa are available.
• Appointment confirmation letter, to be done online through this link.
• You will also need a cover letter where you will explain further details about your visit in Austria.
• A copy of your round-trip flight itinerary.
• Schengen Travel Insurance copy of confirmation or proof of purchased insurance for travel in Austria and the whole territory of Schengen, with minimum coverage of USD 50,000.
• Accommodation receipts or hotel confirmation that will show where you will stay in Austria for the whole duration of your stay.
• Proof of civil status. This may be a marriage certificate, birth certificate, or death certificate of spouse.
• Proof of sufficient financial means that will cover your whole stay in Austria. The Austrian Immigration office requires a person to possess euros in the equivalent of USD 110 per day of stay for the entire duration of your visit.
• 6 months bank account statement

Should your internship take longer than 180 days, you will need to apply for an Austria Red-White-Red Card. For more information on this type of permit, you may check out this link.
