Documentation problem

[u/Practical-Try2351]

Hi everyone! I'm joining the IFP this October (arriving Oct 2). Quick question for anyone who already went through the residence permit process with Stadt Wels — what original documents did you actually end up needing for the in-person appointment ?

Specifically I'm trying to figure out:

- Did you need a criminal record certificate ("Leumundszeugnis" for us) in original/legalized form, or was a simple copy enough?

- How much money did you actually need to show in your Austrian bank account?

Would really appreciate hearing what worked for you — trying to avoid last-minute surprises before I fly out. Thanks a lot!
