Gaining entry to the USA with an Esta

  • August 1, 2013
  • Jules

The USA is one of the biggest and busiest countries in the world, and every single day people fly out there either for important business or for their own pleasure. This includes hugely popular and diverse destinations such as New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Seattle and Houston amongst many other fantastic areas.

Depending on where you are flying from you may need what’s called an Esta, so it is important to check early in your planning process in order to get it arranged as soon as possible. You will need an Esta if you are from a country which is listed on the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and if you are travelling to the States for less than 90 days. There are 37 countries in the VWP and they can be found here as well as more information on the VWP and the specific requirements. The VWP was introduced to make it easier for people from countries with strong business and tourism ties to the USA to gain entry, so with an Esta you will quickly be able to get into the country and begin your trip without too much hassle.

If you are from one of these countries and you are planning a trip to the US for 90 days or less then it is important that you get your Esta arranged to ensure entry. This may seem like something which will cause a lot of stress and take up a lot of your time, but really it is a very simple process which needn’t take up too much time and it can be completed with Apply Visa Esta. Many tourists and professionals apply through here as the application will be processed in quarter of an hour and there is support available at all times if you have any questions.

The only conditions you have to meet in order to qualify are that you have citizenship and a passport of one of the countries listed, you are visiting the USA for business or pleasure for 90 days or less, you have a travel ticket for your return or onward journey and that you do not have a US Visitor Visa at present. Meeting all of these conditions will allow you to simply complete your application and this will allow you to focus on other important aspects of the trip such as packing, accommodation and activities.
