Service Fee Pre-Payment
Process
Starting from July 31st, 2022, Austria will introduce a new process to ensure more efficient
visa application processing.
Appointment booking is mandatory, and applicants are required to pay the service fee in
advance. Applicants can schedule their appointment using an online appointment booking
system. Each applicant must schedule their own appointment slot and fee prepayment must be
made for every application individually. The appointment will only be validated if payment of the
service fees prior to the appointment is done in an approved agency of the Bank of Local
Development (BDL). The payment must be made within 2 working days after the confirmation
email of the scheduled appointment has been sent. Please note, that in case the payment is not
made within 2 working days, you will lose your prepayment and the appointment. A non- prepaid
appointment will be automatically cancelled. The number of available appointments per day is
fixed by the Austrian Embassy in Algiers.
Once you receive the block notification from the appointment system. To make payment please
follow the below process:
