Visa Info for Ghanaian Students Going to a University in Austria

Are you from Ghana? You might need a student visa...

...But, well, you see, our army of scientist monkeys didn't finish the student visa research for Austria yet!

Don't worry, everything is ok. We're on it, and we're doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in Austria a little easier and more enjoyable.

Still, you can always beat us to the punch and:

• Check if you really need a student visa. Usually, if you are an EU-national and want to study in another EU country, you won't need a visa. Some other non-EU countries may also be exempt from an entry visa, at least for an initial duration.
• Start accessing the websites of the embassy and consulate, in order to get a general picture of the whole "visa-application" thing;
• Check the deadlines and figure out how much time you'll have to wait for your visa. You wouldn't want miss studying abroad from this silly mistake of bad planning;
• Go on a scavenger hunt and collect all the documents you will need. Remember, you can find the list on the embassy's website;
• Start saving up money, as some applications might require you to have proof of minimum funds.
• Brush up on your English skills. Even if this is not always a visa requirement, it will help you a lot to succeed during your university studies.

All in all, what else can we say but: good luck and never forget to have fun during your studies!

Thanks and good luck!

Austria

Right after its luxurious ballrooms and royalty dancing the waltz, its great love of economy, and inclination for putting alcohol in their coffee, Austria has understood how important education is and has quickly become one of the best places in Europe for international students.

So, if living in the country of Weiner Schnitzel, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lederhosen sounds great, then studying Business and Management, Engineering and Technology, and Social Sciences in Austria is definitively something you should check out.
