The Checklist

What you need to grab your ESTA

Quick rundown of who qualifies, what to have ready, and who should skip the ESTA and go straight for a visa instead.

Are you eligible? Quick check ✅

ESTA is the shortcut for citizens of countries in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. If you tick all these boxes, you're golden. If you miss one, no drama — you might just need a regular visa instead.

You hold a passport from a Visa Waiver Program country

Your passport is the e-Passport kind (look for the gold chip symbol on the cover)

You're staying in the U.S. for 90 days or less

You're going for tourism, business, conferences, or just transit

You haven't been denied a U.S. visa, deported, or kicked out before

You don't have certain serious criminal convictions or specific health issues flagged by U.S. immigration rules

You haven't recently visited certain countries that trigger extra screening (your team will know if this affects you)

📋 What to have ready before you start

Grab these things and pile them next to your laptop. With everything ready, the form takes about 15 minutes. Without — twice as long.

🛂 Your e-Passport

Must be valid for the whole time you're in the U.S. and have that little chip embedded in it. Old non-chip passports won't fly (literally).

📧 Email & phone

Use ones you actually check — we'll send status updates here. Old hotmail you forgot the password to? Bad idea.

🏨 Travel plans

Hotel address (or contact's address) in the U.S., dates of your trip, and where you're flying into. If you don't have a hotel yet, the address of a friend or family member works.

💼 Work info

Your employer's name and address, plus your job title. If you're self-employed, retired, or a student — there's an option for that too.

💡 PRO-TIP

Don't have your U.S. hotel booked yet? You can put a friend's address, a coworking space, or even just a known hotel you might stay at. The U.S. authorities care more about the form being filled out cleanly than perfect itinerary accuracy. You can update the address later if your plans change.

🚫 When ESTA isn't for you

If any of these apply, you'll need a proper visa instead — sorry, no shortcut for you:

Your passport is from a country NOT in the Visa Waiver Program

You want to stay longer than 90 days

You're going to work, study, or move to the U.S. permanently

You've been denied a U.S. visa or ESTA in the past
