Why apply for ESTA online?
An ESTA authorization is a formality chosen every year by millions of travelers who want to visit the United States. Easier to obtain than a tourist visa for the USA, an ESTA is valid for two years; this allows you to make other stays in the USA if you wish to continue discovering this immense territory.
In order to benefit from this visa-free travel opportunity, the only requirements are
- Have a valid passport for the USA for the duration of your stay, i.e. an electronic or biometric passport;
- be a citizen of one of the countries participating in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program;
- receive validation from the American security services.
The ESTA declaration can only be made on the Internet. There is no other way to obtain this travel authorization at this time.
How do I get ESTA authorization online?
In order to proceed with your ESTA application online, you must complete the form on the official US Customs website. You will then access a long form, composed of multiple questions divided into several themes.
The slightest mistake made when filling out the ESTA form online can result in the US authorities refusing to provide you with travel authorization.
We therefore recommend that you carefully check all the information you provide. You will receive your ESTA authorization online within 72 hours, and in most cases, the same day.
