While completing your application

  • → Names spelled exactly as printed on the passport photo page.
  • → Passport number matches, including letters and zeros.
  • → Date of birth and country of birth are correct.
  • → Email address is one you actively monitor.
After you submit

Once you complete payment, your ESTA application is transmitted to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization for review by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. You will receive a confirmation email with a reference number and, once processed, the outcome linked to the passport used in your submission.

  • 1. Confirmation email arrives within minutes.
  • 2. Your record is queued for review.
  • 3. The outcome is emailed and tied to your passport electronically.
  • 4. Present the same passport at check-in and at the U.S. port of entry.

FAQ

Questions travellers ask mid-application

Can I save my ESTA application and come back later?+
Yes. Your progress is preserved on this device as you move through the steps. Use the same browser to continue and complete your ESTA USA submission when you are ready.
I don’t have my passport in front of me right now.+
You can complete Trip Details and Your Info without your passport, then tick “Add passport details later” on the Passport step. You will be prompted to complete these details before the final submission is transmitted.
Which processing option should I choose?+
Standard covers most travellers who apply days or weeks in advance. Rush is intended for tighter timelines, and Super Rush is for short-notice trips within business hours. Faster options do not change the eligibility review — only the time to process the paperwork.
Do I need to apply ESTA separately for each traveller?+
Yes. Each traveller requires their own ESTA linked to their own passport. Set the number of applicants on the Trip Details step and complete a set of details for each one on the same order.
Is this the official US government ESTA site?+
No. This is a private third-party facilitation service. Travellers may also file directly through the official ESTA portal at esta.cbp.dhs.gov for the government fee alone.
What if my ESTA is not approved?+
If your ESTA application is not approved, you may still be able to travel to the United States by applying for a US visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate. This service prepares and submits applications; final decisions rest with U.S. authorities.
Does an approved ESTA guarantee entry to the US?+
No. An approved ESTA authorises boarding on a U.S.-bound carrier. The final entry decision is made by the inspecting officer at the U.S. port of entry.
When should I expect a response?+
Most applications receive a response within the timeframe of the processing option you selected on step 4. All notifications are sent to the email address entered on the Your Info step, so please double-check it before submitting.
