List of representative authorities of the Republic of Austria

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Map with the countries of residence of Austrian diplomatic missions worldwide (the number of countries in which Austria is accredited is much larger because several ambassadors are responsible for several countries, especially in Africa.)

The Austrian Foreign Ministry currently maintains embassies, consulates general and cultural forums in 82 countries , as well as permanent representations at international organizations .

In Austria in particular, not all representations are actually foreign representations in the narrower sense, because Austria is also accredited by some international offices in Vienna .

In 2014 Austria had diplomatic relations with 196 (of the 206) states, but embassies only exist in 80 countries. There are also:

With the 2015-2018 reform, some new embassies are being created, with some less frequented embassies in countries with otherwise good contacts being replaced by those in regions that will be politically important in the future, for "efficient representation of Austrian interests in a changed geopolitical environment in Europe and the world" .
