Austria’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities. Processing time, as Austria states it: Normally within 15 calendar days; up to 45 days in individual cases. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Austria has 1 mission in Tunisia, with its embassy in Tunis.

In 2025, Austria’s embassy and consulates in Tunisia (Tunis) received 2,586 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,890. The refusal rate was 23.5%. The refusal rate fell by 14.0 points from 37.5% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. The number of applications was almost unchanged (2,608 in 2024).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 19.6% of the applications lodged in Tunisia that year, from 15.4% at the consulates of France to 46.3% at those of the Czech Republic. Austria’s consulates worldwide refused 11.9%. Austria was the 8th most applied-for Schengen state in Tunisia.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Tunisia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

For a trip from Tunisia to Austria, the published travel advice reads as follows: the US State Department rates Austria at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 20 August 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Austria (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Austria (updated 13 October 2026). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
