Typically, a Austria Visa (Schengen Visa) takes anywhere from 5 to 15 days to process in the Austria Embassy/Consulate.

Type D visas generally permit the holder to a stay of between 91 days and six months. In exceptional cases, a type D visa may also be issued with a validity period of up to 12 months ( e.g. on the basis of an international agreement) or with a validity period of less than 91 days (visa extension in Austria).
