WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO REGISTER FOR AN ESTA VISA?

International travellers who are seeking to travel to the USA under the Visa
Waiver Program (VWP) are now subject to enhanced security requirements and will
have to pay an administrative fee. All eligible travellers who plan to travel to
the USA under the Visa Waiver Program must apply for travel authorisation. For
this reason the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) introduced an
electronic method - ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). We
recommend to apply for ESTA 72 hours prior to departure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do I need an ESTA-Application?
The USA authorities implemented this authorization procedure in order to secure
travel for citizens from relevant countries who meet the necessary security
standards. Furthermore, it filters those people from the authorization process
who do not require thorough examination for their travel to the US - for
example, those who do not meet the necessary standards must apply for the
official USA Visa.

Why do I need a valid ESTA for travel to the USA?
Today the ESTA-registration has replaced the previous entry form provided on
aeroplanes or on ships arriving in the USA.

How long is an ESTA-Authorization for the USA valid?
The approved ESTA is valid for two years or until the expiry date of the
passport. Multiple entry to the US is available within this time period.

Do I need an ESTA for transit the US?
Yes - even if you are travelling through the USA eg. to Cuba, then you are
required to hold a valid ESTA Application.

When did the regulations come into force?
The ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) was implemented by the
Department for Homeland Security (abbreviation: DHS) on 7th November 2008 by
law.

When should I register for an ESTA before departing to the USA?
It is advised to apply for an ESTA at least 72 hours beforehand so that in case
of rejection you still have time to apply and receive a full US Visa. Please
note, that there is no express service for a visa at the US consulate.

My ESTA was approved - what now?
A valid application permits foreigners to travel to the USA within the space of
two years for a maximum of 90 days. It is important to mention, that a valid
ESTA does not guarantee automatic entry on arrival. The final decision to
determine whether entry is permitted lies with the border control authorities at
the Customer and Border Protection.

Tip: You should make sure that the purpose of the trip is in accordance with the
visa-free travel regulations. As soon as you begin to use the visa more
frequently or stay longer than the permitted 90 days, you may be required to
apply for a business visa or residence visa.

Do children also require an ESTA registration?
Childrens passports are not valid for visa-free travel to the USA. Children with
the child passport need to apply for a proper Visa or acquire a digital passport
(e-passport).
