Anyone here who came to JKU from the UAE?
Hey guys,
I recently got accepted into JKU for the IBA program for the Winter Semester 2026/27**,** and I’m currently getting my documents apostilled so I can submit everything by September 5.
I’m coming from the UAE and was wondering if there’s anyone here who also came from the UAE (or went through the Austrian residence permit/visa process from the UAE).
I’m mainly trying to figure out how the whole residence permit + visa process works and what kind of timeline I should realistically expect. My timeline is pretty tight since I’m hoping to get to Linz around September 25, with the semester starting around October 1.
Would really appreciate it if anyone who’s been through this recently could share their experience, especially with the application process/timelines from the UAE.
Thanks!
