Austria or Germany Visa? Help please
 
Hello everyone,
I need help with my Schengen visa.
In October my husband and me are travelling to Germany and Austria. Our port of entry is Germany and we will be there for 4 days and in Austria for 5 days. We will be leaving from Salzburg, Austria.
Now my query is do I have to get a German or Austria visa? Which VFS office do I have to go to, to apply my visa?
Any help, advise and tips are much appreciated.
Thank you

You need to contact the respective consulates and ask them that question.

If you are a citizen of the U.S., you don't need a visa at all for a short visit to Germany or Austria. Your country of citizenship is what determines the requirement for a visa. A visa is good for only the country you are visiting. So if Germany requires a visa of citizens from your country, then you must get one. If Austria requires a visa, then you must get one. What is your citizenship?

You need a Schengen visa, assuming you need a visa at all. Technically you should apply to the Austrian consulate for the visa since you are there longer. However a lot depends upon which consulates you have in your home country.
Contact both and see what they say.
