Austria is a member of the European Union and the Schengen Convention. EU-citizens require an official ID to enter Austria. Citizens from non-EU countries are advised to obtain information about the regulations governing entry into Austria applicable to their country before starting their trip. It is still mandatory to carry an ID (passport).[br][br]Information on passport and visa requirements for Austria: [url=http://www.bmeia.gv.at/en/]Foreign Ministry[/url][br][br]For EU citizens, the regulations applicable within the European Union apply. Travellers from non-European countries require a valid passport that entitles them to a three-month stay in Austria. Visitors from these countries may only import “personal travel goods” customs-free, i.e. such goods as they need on a temporary basis for their personal use or consumption or to exercise their profession.[br][br][url=https://english.bmf.gv.at/]More information[/url]
