USA ESTA

International travelers who are seeking to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program are now subject to enhanced security requirements. An ESTA travel authorisation is compulsary for Visa Waiver Program travellers to board an air or sea carrier to the USA.

From January 12, 2009, ESTA becomes mandatory for all qualified Visa Waiver Program travellers entering the United States on or after that date. The ESTA applies only to those Visa Waiver Program travellers who are entering the United States by air or sea. Travellers entering by land either from Canada or Mexico are not required to register before travelling.

Travel Authorization is obtained through an online registration system known as ESTA. If your registration is successful, it will be valid for multiple applications for two years or until the date on which your passport expires, which ever comes first.

Visas4USA are permitted to complete the ESTA registration process on your behalf.

The ESTA does not guarantee entry into the United States; that decision rests with the immigration official at the Port of Entry in the same way that travellers currently entering the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program or with a visa are subject to inspection.
