Sri Lanka Embassy and Consulates in Austria

My name is Nadeema Devindi Ruwanpathirana, a Sri Lankan national currently residing in Romania under a valid Residence Permit. I am writing to seek clarification and guidance regarding the student visa application process for Austria. I am eager to pursue my studies in Austria and have already gathered all necessary documents, including those attested by the Foreign Ministry in Sri Lanka. However, considering my current residence in Romania, I would like to inquire if it is possible to legalize these documents at the Austrian Embassy in Romania rather than the usual process in India. Additionally, I am uncertain about where I should obtain the police clearance certificate. Would it be more appropriate to procure it from Sri Lanka or Romania for the purpose of my student visa application? Furthermore, I am interested in understanding whether I can submit my application and undergo the visa process directly at the Austrian Embassy in Romania, given my current location. I would appreciate any information and guidance you can provide to ensure that I follow the correct procedures and fulfill all requirements for a smooth and successful visa application process. If there are specific forms or guidelines available, kindly share them with me, and I will ensure timely compliance.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance in this matter. I am looking forward to your prompt response.
