How it works

Three steps from application to approval

1

Complete the guided form

Answer plain-language questions about you, your passport and your trip. We validate every field as you go, so nothing is missed or mistyped.

2

We review and submit

A specialist checks your answers for the errors that cause delays, then submits your application to U.S. Customs and Border Protection on your behalf.

3

Receive your authorization

You get your ESTA decision by email — most within 72 hours. It is linked electronically to your passport; no printout is required to travel.

Transparent pricing

One price, fully itemized

The $21 U.S. government fee is paid to CBP and shown separately — never buried. Our service fee covers the review and guided assistance. No subscriptions, no surprise charges.

You can also apply directly at the official U.S. government site, esta.cbp.dhs.gov.

Prices are in U.S. dollars per traveler. The $21 government fee is set by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and is non-refundable once an application is submitted. Our service fee is separate and is disclosed before you pay.

Who can apply

Visa Waiver Program eligibility

An ESTA lets eligible travelers visit the United States for short stays without a visa. Citizens of the 42 Visa Waiver Program countries can apply.

Not from a VWP country, or had a prior refusal? You likely need a U.S. visitor visa instead — an ESTA will not be valid.

  • You hold a passport from a Visa Waiver Program country
  • Your passport is electronic (e-passport) with a digital chip
  • Your trip is for tourism, business, transit or medical care
  • You are staying 90 days or fewer per visit
  • You are not travelling on a separate U.S. visa
  • You have no prior ESTA or U.S. visa refusals (apply for a visa instead if so)

Encrypted end-to-end

Your passport and personal data are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption.

Checked by a person

A specialist reviews every application for the errors that cause delays.

Service-fee guarantee

If we can't submit your application, our service fee is refunded.

FAQ

Common questions

An ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is the U.S. travel authorization required for citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries visiting for tourism, business or transit for up to 90 days. If you are flying or sailing to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program, you need an approved ESTA before you board.
