ESTA


All visitors to the United States (U.S.) including children who are eligible for the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP) must apply for authorisation to travel to the U.S. in advance in accordance with the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA).


You must complete an online application for authorisation to travel on the ESTA website https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta at least 72 hours before your flight or sailing to the US departs but you are recommended to apply earlier. Providing the application is accepted, you will be provided with approval via the website. Approval is usually provided very quickly but can take up to 72 hours if data needs to be checked. You should make a note of the ESTA approval number when you receive it.


It is your responsibility to obtain ESTA approval or a U.S. visa if required*. If you fail to obtain authorisation to travel through the ESTA website or a U.S. visa in advance of travel, you will not be allowed on your outbound flight or sailing to the U.S. Full cancellation charges will then apply. Please note that bookings of transatlantic voyages require a print out of the ESTA permission statement which has to be shown at check in.
