Do EU residents need visa to travel to USA?
I am working in Spain as a Turkish citizen. I have a residence/working card for one year. I will need to go to US this spring. I am wondering if I am required to have a tourist visa for this or I am eligible to travel with just my residence/working card and an ESTA.

Your Spanish work permit is not relevant and Turkey is not a US Visa Waiver country, so you need a visa to enter the United States.
Here are the official details.

Obviously, foreign residency is relevant when you need to provide current address details when applying for US visa. Don't use an old Turkish address there.
