The ESTA application – How to apply​

ESTA Application Process​

To be eligible for ESTA, you must be a citizen of a participating country and have a valid passport that will be valid for at least 6 months after your intended travel to the United States. You must also answer a series of eligibility questions on the ESTA application form.

If your ESTA application is approved, you will receive an approval email. This email will contain your ESTA number, which you will need to present to immigration officials when you arrive in the United States.

The Visa Waiver Program is a valuable program that allows citizens of participating countries to travel to the United States without a visa. Immigration officials have the final say on whether or not you are allowed to enter the country.
