The embassy and its staff

Vienna is also a UN headquarters city, and Egypt maintains a permanent mission to the United Nations and other international organisations in Vienna. Consular requests belong to the embassy, not to that mission.

Consular services

Typical consular services include:

• Powers of attorney and other notarial acts
• Certificates for pensions and social security abroad

Ask the embassy about fees and processing times before you apply – they are not listed by the Austrian Foreign Ministry.
