Planning a short trip to the United States for business or tourism? If you’re from a country that’s part of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), you may not need a US tourist visa at all. Instead, you can apply for a USA ESTA—a fast, convenient way to gain entry into the U.S. for up to 90 days.
Deep dive: What is a USA ESTA?
The USA ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is an online travel authorization that allows eligible foreign nationals to enter the United States without a visa for tourism, business, or transit.
It is not a visa, but a pre-screening process for travelers under the Visa Waiver Program. ESTA helps U.S. authorities determine in advance whether you are eligible to travel to the country.
If approved, your USA ESTA is valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. During this period, you can make multiple visits, each lasting up to 90 days.
