Austrian passports are issued to citizens of Austria to facilitate international travel. Every Austrian citizen is also a citizen of the European Union. The passport, along with the national identity card allows for free rights of movement and residence in any of the states of the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

The application and printing processes of all Austrian passports are handled by the Österreichische Staatsdruckerei (de) headquartered in Vienna. The Österreichische Staatsdruckerei is also tasked with the application and printing processes of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta passport.

Physical appearance

Austrian passports are the same burgundy colour as other European passports, and with the Austrian Coat of arms emblazoned in the centre of the front cover. The words "EUROPÄISCHE UNION" (English:European Union) and "REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH" ({{lang-en|Republic of Austria}}) are inscribed above the coat of arms and the word "REISEPASS" ({{lang-en|Passport}}) is inscribed below. Austrian passports have the standard biometric symbol at the bottom and use the standard EU design. Each page of the passport shows the coat of arms of a different Austrian province in the background.

Different spellings of the same name within the same document

German names containing umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and/or ß are spelled in the correct way in the non-machine-readable zone of the passport, but with simple vowel + E and/or SS in the machine-readable zone, e.g. Müller becomes MUELLER, Groß becomes GROSS, and Gößmann becomes GOESSMANN.

The transcription mentioned above is generally used for airplane tickets etc., but sometimes (like in US visas) also simple vowels are used (MULLER, GOSSMANN). The three possible spelling variants of the same name (e.g. Müller / Mueller / Muller) in different documents sometimes lead to confusion, and the use of two different spellings within the same document (like in the passport) may give people who are unfamiliar with the German orthography the impression that the document is a forgery.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}}

Austrian passports may (but do not always) contain a trilingual (in German, English, and French) explanation of the German umlauts and ß, e.g. 'ß' entspricht / is equal to / correspond à 'SS'.

Visa free travel

{{Main article|Visa requirements for Austrian citizens}}

Visa requirements for Austrian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Austria. According to the 2018 Henley Passport Index, Austrian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 186 countries and territories, ranking the Austrian passport 4th in the world in terms of travel freedom (tied with British, Dutch, Luxembourgish, Norwegian, Portuguese and United States passports).[5] Additionally, Arton Capital's Passport Index ranked the Austrian passport 4th in the world in terms of travel freedom, with a visa-free score of 164 (tied with Belgian, British, Canadian, Greek, Irish, Japanese, Portuguese and Swiss passports), as of 2 December 2018.[6]

Holding a second passport

Austria allows its citizens to hold a second Austrian passport to circumvent certain travel restrictions (e.g. some Arab countries do not allow entry with Israeli passport stamps, e.g. Bahrain, Iraq (except Iraqi Kurdistan), Oman, Mauritania and the United Arab Emirates).

Holding an Austrian passport and a foreign passport at the same time, i.e. dual citizenship, is restricted under the current Austrian nationality law.

History

Before Austria became a member of the European Union, passports had a dark green cover.
