Hi we are confused about where to send the passport.

Did everyone send to Vienna office?


My spouse letter came from Vienna. he lives in Germany closest vfs office is dusselforf and Berlin



Did you guys send passport to Vienna to VFS visa office? Or Vienna embassy where letter came from?
In the email/letter I got it said the following:

A. If you need to send us your passport (because you need to receive an immigrant visa as explained under #3 above), you must use one of the Visa Application Centres (VAC) located within our territory.

You can send your passport by mail to the VAC or go there in person.
So yeah, send it to Düsseldorf/Berlin or just travel there. Only if you don't have to send in the passport, you can send the pictures and the remaining documents directly to Vienna.

Same for me, I live in dubai, went to vfs dubai and they said I can either submit it here to mail the passport to vfs Vienna. Based on the feedback I was informed that it's a high season here in abu Dhabi embassy and its taking long time to get ur passport back, so I just mailed my passport via dhl to vfs Vienna.
Question: do you have DM ( decision made already on ecas?

Question: did u get ur DM(decision made) on ecas already.

I would be really appreciated if you can share what courier you used and to which address you sent it in Vienna.
I went today to VFS Abu Dhabi and they say it will take 30 days to get it. Its really a long wait and I have decided to send it to Vienna directly.
I need your advise regarding the courier and Address in Vienna if you dont mind please.

I need to include the following, please correct me if am wrong.
1-passport
2-the first page of request letter
3-VAc consent form
4-2 passport photos
5-receipt of the sponsorship application

hi
yes these are the documents, and you need to add the bank transfer payments as well.
its around 100 euros i guess.
I received an email today informing me that my passport will be dispatched to the embassy today, however I got to know that VFS Vienna does not send the passports back to Dubai or anywhere out side Austria, and that the only option is either to collect it by yourself or arrange your own courier delivery and inform them via email on the date and time of the pick up, the name of the courier company and provide the airway bill. you can do this via DHL again,however wait until you receive the notification that the passport was dispatched back to VFS.

Good luck.

Can the sponsor pick up the passport or have a consent letter from PA to pick up passport. I’m sponsor and I’m a Canadian. Citizen and Don’t require a visa to travel to Austria, whereas PA requires schengen visa.

Please advise.

My wife is on her way to Vienna to pick up mine.
You need to sign the consent letter and also write a power of attorney letter yourself saying that you allow ur wife to pick the ur passport. U will find alot of templates online.
Also they requested a proof of relationship, so we took a copy of our marriage certificate.
