How to pay with a Credit card

If you are applying for Consular Services by post, you must pay by credit card by printing a Card Payment Authorisation Form, filling in your card details as instructed on the form, and enclosing this with your application by post. DO NOT send your actual credit card. A separate credit card authorisation slip should accompany each application. If the cardholder name is different to the applicant’s name, please attach a photocopy of the cardholder’s passport or other photo ID with signature.
The cards we accept are Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards. We are unable to process Maestro cards, American Express, Diners Club or any Austrian Bank Cards (Bankomatkarten).

Any postal application received after 1 September 2008 which contains cash as a form of payment will automatically be returned to the sender by registered post at the sender’s own expense (€5).
