The British Embassy can assist you with any questions you have concerning visas or UK entry requirements. The British Embassy is the official representation of the United Kingdom in Austria and can be contacted with any questions about residence permits, work permits and trade-related matters. They have recently launched a new telephone-based information service and website to assist applicants seeking a visa for the United Kingdom.

The UK visas website will also give you basic information about visa requirements for the UK.
