Transit Visa » Austria
A visa is likely not required to transit through Austria if travelers do not
intend to leave the international transit area.
However, holders of passports from certain countries listed below, who do not
possess a valid "Green Card," must apply for an airport transit visa (Visa A),
even if they only change planes in Austria without exiting the transit area of
the airport.

Austria is a signatory state of the Schengen Agreement, resulting in the
elimination of internal border controls. With a Schengen visa, individuals can
freely travel throughout the entire Schengen zone.
Regarding short-term visas, there are two types of transit visas within the
Uniform Schengen visa group, intended for travelers passing through a Schengen
member country to reach their final destination. Many travelers are not subject
to this type of visa requirement, but citizens of certain countries must obtain
one.
The Airport Transit Visa, categorized as "A," is for travelers who have a
layover of several hours at the designated airport's international transit area.
However, if they plan to wait overnight, they are restricted to staying within
the transit area and cannot access accommodations in the city.
Since your final destination is a Schengen country, you will enter the Schengen
zone, either at the first airport or the last, requiring an entry and short-stay
visa categorized as "C" in the Schengen area.
In this scenario, a transit visa is unnecessary because you will eventually
leave the international transit area of the airport within the Schengen zone.
