Since August 1, 2008, the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) has been introduced on a voluntary basis via Internet for citizens and eligible nationals of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries to apply for advance authorization to travel to the United States under the VWP.

Visit USA strongly recommend to its members and to travel agents to encourage their clients to log on the Esta system as from now in order to get them acquainted with this system which will be mandatory as from January 12 2009!.

ESTA will initially be available in English only. Other languages will follow. Effective January 12, 2009, ESTA will become mandatory and all VWP travelers will be required to obtain an electronic travel authorization prior to boarding a carrier to travel by air or sea to the U.S. under the VWP.

How the Electronic System for Travel Authorization Works Log onto the ESTA Web site at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov and complete an on-line application in English. Travelers are encouraged to apply early. The web-based system will prompt you to answer basic biographical and eligibility questions typically requested on a paper I-94W form.

Applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel, however, DHS recommends that applications be submitted no less than 72 hours prior to travel. In most cases you will receive a response within seconds:
