Philippine Embassy Vienna: Fees, Cash Rule, Postage

Vienna publishes two things most posts leave out: a cash-only rule stated against the passport fee, and a return-postage schedule that quietly reveals how far its jurisdiction reaches.

Where and who it covers

The postage line is the jurisdiction line. An embassy does not price return post to Croatia, Slovakia and Slovenia unless applicants there file with it, so Vienna’s reach is four countries rather than one.

Passport fees

Losing a passport costs €175.00 once the affidavit is added, against €60.00 for an ordinary one, a multiple of 2.92 that recurs at almost every post on this site.

The Affidavit of Loss must state in detail the circumstances of the loss or damage, which is the Embassy’s own wording and not a formality.

Requirement checklists for an overseas renewal are in the passport renewal abroad guide.

Civil registry and certification fees

€25.00 is the flat rate, and affidavits stack on top of it rather than being included. A Report of Birth needing one affidavit is €50.00, not €25.00.

The German-translation surcharge is the one fee here with no counterpart at other posts: it doubles a certification to €50.00, and it exists because the receiving authority is Austrian rather than Philippine.

The Philippine-side record that follows is covered in the PSA birth certificate guide.

Visa fees

Whichever you buy, the entry permission is the same: the Embassy states that a temporary visitor’s visa entitles the holder to a maximum stay of 59 days per entry. A 12-month multiple entry does not mean twelve months in the country, it means repeated 59-day stays across a year.

Mail applicants add €6.50 for Austria or €12.15 for other countries, which the Embassy says is used to send the visa back.

Vienna against the base schedule

Like Rome and Milan, Vienna prints the network’s US dollar base rate unchanged, euro for dollar:

The base schedule is published in dollars at Honolulu, and the other euro posts run the same figures, as set out in the Philippine Embassy Rome guide.

The two postage figures do not match

A €0.10 and a €0.25 difference, on pages neither of which is dated. Both are printed here because the Embassy publishes both and nothing on either page reconciles them. The likeliest reading is that they are postage rates for different item weights, but that is inference and the Embassy does not say it.

What this page does not cover

Vienna publishes no office hours on the pages read for this guide, and no processing time for passports or visas, only the three working days for a Report of Birth and a Report of Death. It publishes no dual citizenship fee and no notarial fee separate from the certification fee.
