Everything you need to know about the ESTA Visa Waiver Program
ESTA Visa Waiver Guide
The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) provides several advantages for qualified visitors coming to the United States, such as simplified entry processes, reduced processing times, and the ease of online application. However, it’s crucial to recognize that obtaining ESTA approval doesn’t ensure admission into the U.S.; travelers must fulfill all the requirements for entry, including having a valid passport and complying with immigration regulations.
To check if you’re eligible for an ESTA, ensure you are a citizen of a Visa Waiver Program country and plan to visit the U.S. for tourism, business, or transit for 90 days or less.
ESTA Applications are usually processed quickly, with most ESTA applications being processed within 72 hours.
You cannot extend your stay beyond 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) with an ESTA.
An ESTA is valid for two years from the date of authorization, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
