What is the ESTA?

Check Eligibility →

The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is a web-based system operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). The ESTA application collects biographical information and answers to VWP eligibility questions. Approved ESTA travel authorizations are generally valid for multiple trips over a two-year period or until the traveler's passport expires, whichever comes first.

If you are a citizen of a Visa Waiver Program country and plan to visit the United States for tourism, business, or while in transit, you are required to have an approved ESTA before boarding a U.S.-bound carrier. The ESTA application must be submitted prior to departure, and it is recommended to apply at least 72 hours before your scheduled travel date.

Why is an ESTA Required?

Visa Waiver Program Compliance

Citizens of VWP countries must obtain travel authorization through ESTA as a condition of visa-free travel to the United States for short visits.

Boarding Requirement

Airlines and maritime carriers are required to verify that passengers have a valid ESTA before allowing them to board U.S.-bound flights or vessels.

Advance Travel Planning

Having an approved ESTA in place allows travelers to plan their trips with confidence, knowing their authorization has been reviewed and confirmed.

View All FAQs

What is the Visa Waiver Program?

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows citizens of designated countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. Instead, eligible travelers must obtain an approved ESTA before departure.

How long is an ESTA valid?

An approved ESTA is generally valid for two years from the date of authorization or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. During this period, you may travel to the United States multiple times without reapplying.

When should I apply for my ESTA?

It is recommended to apply for your ESTA at least 72 hours before your planned departure date. While many applications are processed sooner, applying in advance helps ensure you have your authorization confirmed before travel.

Can I update my ESTA after it has been submitted?

Certain information on an approved ESTA can be updated, such as your U.S. contact information or travel itinerary. However, changes to personal details like your name or passport number require a new application.
