Red tape and visas
Citizens of EU countries need only a valid national identity
card to enter Austria. Since Britain has no identity card, however,
British citizens do have to take a passport. EU citizens can stay
for as long as they want, but if they're planning on staying
permanently they should register with the local police. Citizens of
the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia require a passport, but
no visa, and can stay up to three months.
Visa requirements do change, however, and it is always advisable
to check the current situation before leaving home. We've listed
Austrian embassies abroad; addresses of foreign embassies and
consulates in Vienna and other major cities are also given in the
guide
