How to apply for a USA ESTA online
What is an ESTA?
An ESTA is an electronic travel authorization that allows citizens of certain countries to enter the United States without a visa. It is valid for two years and can be used for multiple trips to the US. To be eligible, travelers must have a valid passport from one of the countries in the Visa Waiver Program.
Applying for an ESTA is quick and easy, and it can be done online in just a few minutes. Once approved, travelers will receive their authorization via email.
How to Apply
The first step in applying for a USA ESTA is to fill out the online application form. The form requires basic information such as name, address, date of birth, passport details, and contact information. It also includes questions about health, criminal history, and other security-related topics.
Once the form has been completed, applicants must pay the processing fee. The fee can be paid with a credit or debit card or PayPal account. After payment has been made, applicants will receive confirmation of their application.
Checking Status
Once the application has been submitted, applicants can check the status of their application at any time by logging into their account on USA ESTA. The status page will show whether the application has been approved or denied.
If the application has been approved, applicants will receive an email with their authorization number and other important information about their trip to the United States.
Renewal
ESTA authorizations are valid for two years from the date of issue or until the traveler’s passport expires, whichever comes first. When it’s time to renew an ESTA authorization, applicants must fill out a new application form and pay the processing fee again.
It’s important to note that even if an ESTA authorization has not expired yet, travelers should still apply for a new one if they plan on traveling to the United States again.
