What is ESTA, and how does it work?
ESTA is an automated system that determines whether you are eligible to travel to the United States as part of the Visa Waiver Program. It evaluates the security and law enforcement risks of traveling to the United States. A VWP traveler who has completed the ESTA form will be notified about their eligibility to travel to America. DHS administers the VWP. The VWP permits citizens and nationals from certain countries to travel to America for business or tourism for less than 90 days without requiring a visa. The Overview of the Visa Waiver Program contains additional information. To submit an online application, log onto the ESTA website. It is best to apply as soon as possible for travel.
You will be asked fundamental questions about your eligibility and your biographical details. These details are not necessary for a paper I-994W request. Although applications can be submitted at any time, DHS recommends that they be submitted 72 hours before travel. A visa waiver is a U.S. government program that allows citizens and nationals of the 41 Visa Waiver Countries to travel to the United States for business or tourism for up to 90 days without needing a visa. You can travel to the United States with the Visa Waiver Program without obtaining a ticket ahead of time
What are the ESTA requirements for visiting the US?
Before you travel to the USA, it is essential that you are familiar with all the rules. This will help avoid unexpected situations. You cannot take a low-powered or empty battery on certain flights. Your mobile phone may be charged at all times, but you may be denied entry to the aircraft if you break this rule. During your flight, you must fill out Customs Form 6059B. This form allows you to track specific items brought into the country. When you cross Border Control, the I-94 form will be created. For travelers arriving by air, this form is not available in paper format, but you can download it electronically.
The US Customs and Border Protection will review your documents. A CBP officer will also perform the US-VISIT procedure. This involves taking your fingerprints and taking a photo. Then, you can verify your identity with this biometric data. The US authorities can view details about your travel plans.
Having a copy of your travel documents with you is a good idea. Documents proving your financial resources may be required. Once you have completed these steps, Customs will process your application. A valid passport is required for your trip, including departure date. There are exceptions to this rule in some countries, and you can see the CBP website for more information. A visa is required if the traveler does not have an USA ESTA travel authorization. Routine luggage and baggage checks can be done even if nothing is declared. To ensure you have nothing to add, check the complete list at www.cbp.gov. If traveling from Canada or Mexico by land, you may need to provide documentation and your driver’s license.
