Electronic System for Travel Authorization

  • ESTA is an automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
  • You must have an e-passport to use the VWP
  • If you believe you were incorrectly denied ESTA authorization you can turn to the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program
  • A valid ESTA does not guarantee a traveler may enter the United States; U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers determine admissibility upon travelers’ arrival.
  • You may travel visa free if you meet all of these requirements.
