ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION (ESTA)
ADVISORY STATEMENT |
Beginning January 12, 2009, all nationals
and citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries will be required by
law to obtain a travel authorization prior to initiating travel to the
United States under the VWP. This authorization may be obtained online
through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA™), a free
Internet application administered by the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) through a U.S. government Web site.
DHS does not charge VWP travelers a fee for completion of an ESTA™
application. Eligible visitors seeking to travel to the United States
under the VWP may apply for travel authorization via the ESTA™ Web site
at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov.
VWP travelers should be aware that unauthorized third-parties have
established Web sites, which charge visitors seeking to travel to the
United States under the VWP, for information about ESTA™ and for
submitting ESTA™ applications to DHS on behalf of the traveler. These
businesses and Web sites are not endorsed by, associated with, or
affiliated in any way with DHS or the United States Government. Again,
the United States Government does not charge a fee to obtain
information about, apply for, or obtain a travel authorization through
the ESTA™ Web site. Use of a private service to apply for travel
authorization via ESTA™ will not expedite the granting of approval.
The ESTA™ application Web site is available in 16 languages and
includes a help section that provides additional information for VWP
travelers to guide them through the application process. Additional
information about ESTA™ may be found at http://www.cbp.gov/esta.
