ÖVKG online seminar on "Introduction/Refresher ÖVKG Portal" and "News on the most common messages"
29/09/2021 00:00

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

After months of standstill, travel is slowly picking up speed again.

During this time, a lot has happened at the embassies and also at the ÖVKG.

Among other things, the ÖVKG has used the time to further develop the online booking portal for you.

For example, we have…

  • … implemented our new products „A1 certificate“ and „EU declarations“ fully automatically
  • … 2-factor authentication (optional) integrated for better protection of your login
  • … the option to automatically store special company data/data of the traveler behind your customer number (e.g. employer, client, etc.)
  • … the release of fully booked orders to third parties incl. document upload (e.g. in the case of a vacation replacement) is programmed

You are not yet familiar with the ÖVKG booking portal or the services of ÖVKG or have not used it for a long time due to the pandemic?

I would like to invite you to a free ONLINE SEMINAR to give you an insight/overview of the current service portfolio and the online portal of ÖVKG.
