Vienna Airport Passport control
Hello, Im a European citizen and Im arriving to Vienna airport on Sunday at around 12! And I was wondering how long will it take me to get out of the airport? I have reserved a bus from right outside at 12:20 and I dont know if I can make it, I wont have any checked in bags. Last time I came from Greece to Vienna and I dont remember passing through passport control. I really hope you can help me out 
Thank you
Thank you

depends from where you are arriving, as there are 2 points of immigration control.
that said, ive arrived at all times of the day (and night), and do not qualify for the EU line, and i dont think ive ever waited more than 15 minutes, ever. it is typically 1-5 minutes.
whether your flight will arrive on time is another issue entirely!

I think your concern is less the airport and more the arrival time of your incoming flight. 1200 is your arrival time. You still need to get off the plane and through the airport and then to the bus station. In my opinion, unless the flight is early you won’t make a 1220 bus.

I flew BRU - VIE 2 weeks ago (OS354). Schengen area so no passport control. Arrival was at 19:21 and at 19:40 a was in a taxi. The cab driver picking me up was a few minutes late in the terminal so I even lost a few minutes. I sat in row 4 so was quickly off the plane and traveled on carry-on bagage. But 20min seems short to catch a bus unless you're sure you arrive on time, you make it off the plane quickly and you know where the bus stop is.
