Understanding the United States ESTA

The United States ESTA is an electronic travel authorization that allows eligible travelers to visit the United States without a visa. Visa-exempt travelers can use this permit for tourism, transit, and business purposes. It is easier and quicker to apply for compared to a regular B1/B2 visa and helps enhance border security.

To apply for the ESTA, travelers must meet specific eligibility criteria, including traveling with a passport from a country on the Visa Waiver Program list and having an e-passport with an embedded electronic chip. While approval of the ESTA is required, entry into the US is not guaranteed, and travelers may be refused admission for various reasons determined by US Customs and Border Protection officers.
