Apply via VFS Global in Bangkok – book an appointment early, as walk-ins are not allowed. Embassy interviews are rare if your documents are complete.
Invitation letter: A simple personal invite from your partner (with their ID copy) is accepted. No official form is required, but include details of your relationship and trip plans.
Financial sponsorship: Austria is okay with a sponsor, but if your partner covers your expenses, include their bank statements and a signed sponsor letter. Also show any savings you have, as visa officers like to see you’re financially secure too.
Ties to Thailand: Highlight your job, family, or obligations in Thailand. Austrian visas typically get approved if you prove you’ll return (e.g. employment letter, business license, or assets as evidence).
