In Vienna, RWR-Karte renewals and related residence permit cases are handled by the Magistratsabteilung 35 (MA 35), located at Dresdner Strasse 93, 1200 Vienna.
How early should I start my Vienna renewal?
Book your appointment at the MA 35 8-10 weeks before your RWR-Karte expires. MA 35 wait times are typically 4-10 weeks, so starting early is essential.
