As a US citizen, you can enter Austria without a visa for up to 90 days. You have two options: apply at the Austrian Embassy in the US before traveling (safer, recommended for stays over 6 months), or enter Austria visa-free and apply at MA35 after arrival (faster start, but riskier if processing takes over 90 days).
