We would like to inform you about the upcoming new regulation concerning the change from manual to digital customs stamps at Vienna Schwechat Airport. This regulation will come into force on 1 April 2019. The Austrian customs administration has commissioned an independent company to carry out, on its behalf, the export validation on a digital basis.
As of 1 April 2019, all manual customs stamps at Vienna International Airport will be replaced by a digital QR code.
What are the changes?
An independent company will check and scan all Tax Free forms at Vienna Schwechat Airport on behalf of the customs administration, thus digitally recording all form and invoice data. For this purpose, Tax Free customers will have new counters for their use, instead of the customs counters, where the Tax Free forms will be digitised and validated. As a rule, the tourist will receive an export validation, a "Green Channel". The customs administration, however, reserves the right to limit the "Green Channel" at its discretion and to have certain exports additionally checked by customs officers. In this case, the tourist receives a "Red Channel" and must have the export confirmed by a customs officer.
Who is affected?
This new process will have an effect on international shoppers who have made purchases, and want to take advantage of the Tax Free Service and leave the EU via Vienna Schwechat Airport. Digital customs stamps are currently available ONLY at Vienna Schwechat Airport and are to be applied to ALL forms, including those from other countries, those from other Tax Free providers and also Tax Free forms issued by the state.
What will change for you?
At the airport you will find new counters for the validation process of your Tax Free forms, airside and landside. Please note that each form must be filled in completely and correctly to receive a "Green Channel". In addition to the name, nationality and passport number, the city and postal code will be a mandatory field for validation.
As before, the following applies to all Tax Free sales in Austria:
Fully completed Tax Free form
Purchased goods and receipts
Passport and travel documents
Fully completed Tax Free forms stamped by customs
Purchase receipts
Refund options available:
Advice:
Vienna is one of those must-visit cities, like London or Paris, where just walking down the street is an exercise in fascination. Few cities are as grand, yet Vienna wears its imperial history lightly.

Outside of Vienna, many head for Salzburg. This incredibly beautiful city (called the Florence of the North) is crowned by the awe-inspiring UNESCO-listed Altstadt. The city is famous for three musical exports: Mozart, the Salzburg Festival and, of course, The Sound of Music.
