Austria is part of the US Visa Waiver Program. Austrian passport holders can enter the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, but must obtain an approved ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before boarding. Apply at the official CBP site. ESTA costs USD 21, is valid for 2 years, and covers multiple entries. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned stay. The 90-day limit cannot be extended, and overstaying voids future ESTA eligibility.
