(x) Fields 1-3 shall be filled in in accordance with the data in the travel document.
I am aware that the visa fee is not refunded if the visa is refused.
Applicable in case a multiple-entry visa is applied for (cf. field no 24)
I am aware of the need to have an adequate travel medical insurance for my first stay and any subsequent visits to the territory of Member
States.
I am aware of and consent to the following: the collection of the data required by this application form and the taking of my photograph
and, if applicable, the taking of fingerprints, are mandatory for the examination of the visa application; and any personal data concerning
me which appear on the visa application form, as well as my fingerprints and my photograph will be supplied to the relevant authorities of
the Member States and processed by those authorities, for the purposes of a decision on my visa application.
Such data as well as data concerning the decision taken on my application or a decision whether to annul, revoke or extend a visa issued
will be entered into, and stored in the Visa Information System (VIS) for a maximum period of five years, during which it will be
accessible to the visa authorities and the authorities competent for carrying out checks on visas at external borders and within the Member
States, immigration and asylum authorities in the Member States for the purposes of verifying whether the conditions for the legal entry
into, stay and residence on the territory of the Member States are fulfilled, of identifying persons who do not or who no longer fulfil these
conditions, of examining an asylum application and of determining responsibility for such examination. Under certain conditions the data
will be also available to designated authorities of the Member States and to Europol for the purpose of the prevention, detection and
investigation of terrorist offences and of other serious criminal offences. The authority of the Member State responsible for processing the
data is the Bundesministerium fr Inneres, Herrengasse 7, A-1014 Wien, Tel.+43-(0)1-531 26-0, post@bmi.gv.at
I am aware that I have the right to obtain in any of the Member States notification of the data relating to me recorded in the VIS and of the
Member State which transmitted the data, and to request that data relating to me which are inaccurate be corrected and that data relating to
me processed unlawfully be deleted. At my express request, the authority examining my application will inform me of the manner in
which I may exercise my right to check the personal data concerning me and have them corrected or deleted, including the related
remedies according to the national law of the State concerned. The national supervisory authority of that Member State [ www.dsk.gv.at ]
will hear claim sconcerning the protection of personal data.
I declare that to the best of my knowledge all particulars supplied by me are correct and complete. I am aware that any false statements
will lead to my application being rejected or to the annulment of a visa already granted and may also render me liable to prosecution under
the law of the Member State which deals with the application.
I undertake to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa, if granted. I have been informed that possession of a
visa is only one of the prerequisites for entry into the European territory of the Member States.
The mere fact that a visa has been granted to me does not mean that I will be entitled to compensation if I fail to comply with the relevant
provisions of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 (Schengen Borders Code) and I am therefore refused entry. The prerequisites
for entry will be checked again on entry into the European territory of the Member States.
