Payment deadline
The first working day after the application period is the last day to pay: by close of business at a bank, by 23:59 for card and online banking. On the late application day only same-day card payment is accepted.
Who pays nothing?
By decision of ÖSYM’s board, spouses and children of martyrs, and veterans with their spouses and children, pay neither the exam fee nor the application service fee. The exemption is checked against social security (SGK) records.
