Welcome to the Austrian Visa and Consular Company

The Austrian Visa and Consular Agency (ÖVKG) will provide you with professional support in applying for your entry permit for the United States - from checking your documents to receiving your approved visa or ESTA.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If you are a citizen of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program, you can apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) for tourist or limited business stays.
ESTA is suitable for:Holiday trips and tourist stays
Short-term business trips (e.g. visits to business partners, suppliers or customers)
Participation in meetings, conferences or negotiations
ESTA is not suitable for:
Studying or training in the USA
Activities that are paid by a US company
Assembly, service or similar assignments
No ESTA possible for:
Persons who were in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, North Korea or Yemen after 01.03.2011 and for travelers who have been in Cuba since 2021.
In these cases, a USA visa is required.
ESTA validity: up to 2 years (provided the passport is valid)
ESTA duration of stay: maximum 90 days per stay
ESTA processing time: approx. 3 working days by the US authorities (depending on public holidays)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All travelers who cannot apply for an ESTA require a visa for the USA, which is issued by the US Embassy in Vienna.
This applies, for example, to people with a different nationality or a travel purpose that goes beyond the ESTA.
The required documents, the visa validity and the processing time depend on the respective visa category (e.g. B1/B2, E, L, etc.).
A personal interview at the US Consulate Vienna is mandatory for every applicant.
