General Questions About ESTA
What is the US ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization)?
The
US ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is an
automated entry requirement for citizens of Visa Waiver Program
countries. It allows eligible travelers to visit the US for
tourism, business, or transit purposes without obtaining a
traditional visa, for stays of up to 90 days per entry.
Who needs a US ESTA?
Citizens
of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) participating countries who wish
to travel to the United States by air or sea for tourism,
business, or transit purposes are required to obtain an
approved ESTA before travel.
How long is the US ESTA valid?
The
US ESTA is generally valid for two years from the date of
issuance, or until your passport expires — whichever comes
first. You may make multiple trips to the US during this
period, with each stay limited to 90 days.
ESTA Application Process
How do I apply for a US ESTA through ESTA Form US?
You
can apply by visiting our ESTA application page at
/esta-us/application. Our guided 5-step form will walk you
through every section. Once complete, our expert team reviews
your ESTA application before it is submitted, helping to
prevent errors that could cause delays or rejections.
How long does the ESTA application process take?
After
submission, most ESTA applications receive a decision within 72
hours. However, some ESTA applications may require additional
review and could take longer. We strongly recommend applying
for ESTA at least several days before your planned travel date.
What information do I need to complete the ESTA application?
You'll
need your valid biometric passport, personal contact
information, travel details, background information as
requested in the ESTA form, and an emergency contact. You'll
also need a payment method for the service fee.
Can I apply for a US ESTA for my children?
Yes.
Children also require their own ESTA Form USardless of age.
Each person traveling needs their own individual ESTA
authorization linked to their own passport.
ESTA Status & Modifications
How do I check my ESTA application status?
Visit
our Check ESTA Status page and enter your application reference
number and the email address you used when applying. You can
also log into your account dashboard for real-time ESTA
updates.
Can I modify my ESTA application after submission?
Yes,
in certain circumstances. Visit our Modify Application page for
details. Note that not all ESTA information can be changed
after submission, and some changes may require a new ESTA
application.
What happens if my ESTA application is denied?
If
your ESTA application is not approved, you may need to apply
for a US visa through a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Our team can
advise you on next steps. In some cases, providing additional
information may help resolve the ESTA denial.
How will I receive my approved ESTA?
Your
approved US ESTA will be sent to the email address you provided
during the application. The ESTA is linked electronically to
your passport — you do not receive a physical document.
Airlines can verify your ESTA electronically.
