Do I need a visa to go to Vienna?
Whether you need a visa to enter Vienna depends on your nationality.

· You likely do NOT need a visa if you are a citizen of: The EU/EEA or Switzerland. A country that has a visa-free agreement with the Schengen Area (e.g., USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and many others). You can stay for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism or business.

· You WILL need to apply for a Schengen visa in advance if you are a citizen of a country not listed in the visa-free category (e.g., India, China, Russia, South Africa, and many others, unless you hold a biometric passport with specific exemptions).

Important considerations:
Purpose & Duration: If you plan to work, study, or stay longer than 90 days, you'll need a different type of visa or permit, even if you're from a visa-free country.
Residence Permit: If you are a legal resident of a Schengen country, your residence permit may allow you to travel to Austria.
Passport Validity: Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure date from the Schengen Area.

To be certain:
Best official source: Contact the Austrian Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence.
