During the coronavirus pandemic Austrian immigration
applications do not need to be accompanied by original documents or
fingerprints.
For the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, the Austrian
immigration authorities may refrain from taking fingerprints for
applications for renewal of a residence permit, provided there is
no reasonable doubt as to the identity of the applicant.
In addition, the authorities may also refrain from requesting
the applicant to submit original documents and evidence, provided
there is no reasonable doubt as to the authenticity and accuracy of
the submitted copy documents.
These provisions were recently integrated into the by-laws of
the Austrian Settlement and Residence Act and will cease to apply
at midnight on 31 December 2020.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
