Immigration information for students with an EU student residence permit
It may be possible to use your student residence permit for your mobility semester(s) at Uni Graz. The period of stay with your Schengen permit may not exceed 360 days.
What you should do
Students who are non-EU/EEA nationals but study in the EU ( except for Ireland and Denmark) may be allowed to use their EU student residence permit for their mobility semester(s) in Graz. To find out if this is possible, please contact the Austrian embassy in Munich, Ljubljana or Bratislava (choose the one that is closest to your current residence).
Your email should include:
- your acceptance letter: download from Mobility-Online
- your residence permit: back and front side, including additional documents that were issued in connection with the permit
- your passport
- duration of planned stay in Austria (1 or 2 semesters)
Ask the embassy if it is possible to use the residence permit for your studies in Austria due to the Student-Researcher Directive of the EU, or if you have to apply for a visa/residence permit.
What to do next
- No visa necessary: Based on this information, the Erasmus coordination will issue a confirmation that you must pick up after your arrival and keep with you during your stay in Austria.
- Visa necessary (=1 semester stay): Please follow the instructions of the Austrian embassy to get a suitable visa for your stay.
- Residence permit necessary (=2 semester stay): you have to apply for a residence permit “student” in Austria.
