Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is an automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Authorization of ESTA allows travel to the United States for 90 days and is valid for 2 years. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers will inspect your documentation on arrival into the United States to determine entry based on standard relevant requirements. The ESTA application collects biographic information and answers to VWP eligibility questions. ESTA application may be submitted at any time prior to travel, though it is recommended that travelers apply as soon as they begin preparing travel plans or prior to purchasing airline tickets.

Once an application is received all personal information is treated with the strictest privacy protocols (Please refer to our Privacy Policy). Details submitted by applicants are checked by us for missing or incorrect information. We may contact you after you submit your application for necessary missing or possible incorrect information. All care is taken by us to help eliminate possible rejection or denial of applications. This helps assist in expediting the application approval process. Application processing costs here online are 84USD which is all inclusive of mandatory U.S. Government fees of 21USD. There are no additional fees to pay. Please ensure you have a valid passport and email address for delivery of your ESTA Application Approval. Applications can be completed, reviewed and processed online here by clicking the ‘Apply’ link above or you can visit a U.S. Government portal. A United States Customs and Border Protection official at a port of entry will have final determination on your entry into the U.S.

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP), administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in consultation with the State Department, permits citizens of 38 countries to travel to the United States for business or tourism for stays of up to 90 days without a visa. In return, those 38 countries must permit U.S. citizens and nationals to travel to their countries for a similar length of time without a visa for business or tourism purposes.

All eligible nationals or citizens of VWP countries who plan to travel to the United States for temporary business or pleasure under VWP are required to receive an authorization through ESTA prior to boarding a U.S.-bound airplane or vessel. The term "United States" refers to the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Accompanied and unaccompanied children, regardless of age, are also required to obtain an independent ESTA approval. A third party, such as a relative or travel agent, is permitted to submit an ESTA application on behalf of a VWP traveler.
