¿Donde vive? (sin "a") = Where do you live? ¿De donde es (usted)? = Where are you from?

"En dónde vives?" means "where do you live?" "De dónde eres?/De dónde vienes?" means "where are you from?"

Luzbonita's use of the usted is perfectly fine, it's just the more formal/polite version of what I've said.
