EVE Invitation Process: how it works in Austria — first-hand

Short answer
To issue an EVE, the host must book an appointment with the Fremdenpolizei, provide three recent payslips, and complete the electronic form to obtain an ID number. The guest must wait at least 48 hours after the ID is issued before submitting their visa application to ensure the data has synchronized in the embassy database.

From real experience

To issue an official invitation (Elektronische Verpflichtungserklärung - EVE) for an Austrian Visa C, the host must: 1. Book an online appointment with Fremdenpolizei.
2. Provide the last 3 Austrian payslips (Lohnzettel) as proof of income. 3. Complete the application form with the officer to receive an EVE ID number. 4. Share the ID number with the guest. The guest must wait at least 48 hours before submitting their application to VFS to ensure the EVE number is synchronized in the embassy database.

The EVE (Eingangs-Verpflichtungserklärung) in Austria is an official document where a sponsor guarantees to cover potential costs associated with a visitor's stay, including accommodation, medical expenses, and deportation costs.
This is a formal document and cannot be filled out by hand; it must be completed electronically, typically via police registration.

For EVE invitations in Austria: if issued to an individual, it is typically granted immediately (within 1.5-2 hours).
If issued by an organization (e.g., a school), there might be a delay for the inviting party to receive the code. The embassy systems may take up to 48 hours to register the EVE number.
