About ESTA
The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is an automated system from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Travelers from VWP countries must use ESTA to apply for authorization for short-term tourist or business stays of up to 90 days.

Pros & Cons
- Streamlines the travel authorization process for citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries.
- Application processing is fast, with decisions often returned within minutes.
- The entire application can be completed online via web browser or a dedicated mobile app.
- Eliminates the need for a more complex and time-consuming visa application for short-term travel.
- The $21 USD application fee is non-refundable, even if the application is denied.
- An approved ESTA does not guarantee admission to the United States; the final decision rests with a CBP officer at the port of entry.
- The system is only for citizens of specific Visa Waiver Program countries; others must apply for a visa.
- Applicants are vulnerable to unofficial third-party websites that charge excessive fees for submitting an ESTA application.
- Significant errors on a submitted application cannot be corrected, requiring a new application and fee.
