British passport holders enter Austria (and the entire Schengen Area) visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day rolling period. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date with at least two blank pages. Since Brexit, UK passports are stamped on entry and exit.
No supporting documents are mandatory, but immigration officers can ask for proof of accommodation, onward travel, and sufficient funds (roughly EUR 50 per day). The 90-day limit is shared across all 29 Schengen countries, so days spent in France, Germany, or elsewhere in the zone count toward the same 90. ETIAS pre-travel authorization (EUR 7, valid 3 years) is expected to become mandatory in late 2026.
