I am not an Austrian citizen, do I need a Visa in Austria?
At this time American citizens do not need a Visa to enter Austria yet some other countries' citizens do, please go to www.austria.org/visa for more details. We utilize an external service provider for accepting visa applications (all visa categories, no residence permits). VFS Global is operating the Visa Application Center (VAC) for the Embassy in Houston. Please see: www.vfsglobal.com/austria/usa for details.

I am on transit at the Vienna airport. Do I need a transit visa?

The nationalities that need a transit visa are marked in the far right column "Flughafen" (unless they have a visa issued by a number of destination countries, see additional comments at the bottom of the table). https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/what-we-do/policies/borders-and-visas/visa-policy/apply_for_a_visa_en
