The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) provides many advantages for qualified visitors entering the United States, such as a simplified entry process, faster processing times, and the many other advantages. However, it’s crucial to recognize that obtaining an ESTA approval doesn’t ensure admission into the U.S.; travelers must fulfill all the requirements for entry, including having a currently valid passport and also complying with all current immigration regulations.

To see if you’re eligible for an ESTA Visa Waiver, ensure you’re a citizen of a country that is on board with the Visa Waiver Program and that you plan to visit the U.S. for tourism, business, or transit and for 90 days or less.

ESTA Visa Waiver Applications are typically processed quickly, with many ESTA applications being processed within 72 hours.

You cannot extend your stay in the United States beyond 90 days on the Visa Waiver Program with an ESTA.

ESTA Waivers are valid for two years from the date of authorization, or until your passport expires, whichever one comes first.
