Economic guarantee requirements for studying in Austria
Studying in Austria at one's own expense requires financial guarantee. There are two forms of economic security for studying in Austria:
First, protect yourself. Are international students themselves financial guarantors? Students themselves must prove that they have enough financial ability. When applying for a visa, international students should first issue a valid certificate of foreign exchange deposit, and then remit all the expenses required for the whole study period to an Austrian bank account after the visa is preliminarily approved by the embassy? Generally, it costs $5,000 a year, and the entrusting bank withdraws more than $400 from the account every month as living expenses? The account cannot be closed in advance. Generally speaking? If international students want to be their own financial guarantor, the certificate issued by Austrian bank can be used as the student's financial self-protection certificate.
The second is that a person with Austrian nationality or permanent residence in Austria is the guarantor. The letter of guarantee issued by the guarantor must prove that he will bear all the expenses during the student's study? The general guarantee period is 5 to 6 years, and the guarantee expenses include living expenses, housing expenses, medical hospitalization expenses and round-trip air tickets? The guarantee amount is at least 6000 shillings per month. Austrian nationals are economic guarantors, and the economic guarantee provided by them must be notarized by the Austrian notary office before it is valid.
