About this app

The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) app from U.S. Customs and Border Protection allows Nationals of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries to apply and pay for a travel authorization without a visa. The ESTA app is a mobile version of the ESTA application process and information that can also be found on the ESTA website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov.

The ESTA app currently has two features available: Apply for New Individual Application and Search for Existing Application.
• The “GET STARTED” feature allows travelers to create a new ESTA application, pay for the ESTA and submit the application to be processed by the system to determine if they are eligible to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program without a visa. The system will provide the traveler with an automated response.
• The “FIND IT” feature allows travelers to check the status of their existing ESTA application..
CBP recommends that you apply for ESTA at the time you book your travel, but no less than 72 hours prior to boarding.

Ratings and reviews

Very, very bad. Difficult to find any worse Both are very bad. Scanning the passport is a game. Will it work or not this time? The reference given is another game. Can not just save. I am trying to pay for the ESTA application form, no possibility to do so, once PayPal, first choise failed. If I try to start a new one, I can't either. How the hell shall I manage to pay for this?- when I enter the reference number received, sometimes it accepts, sometimes and most times do not. Beyond 👎

It should automatically save the process, or instead of say "save and exit" just say "save progress". The application is asking so many things when you go and find the answer the application is gone doesn't matter how far you have gone. It is very annoying I had to do it from scratch 2-3 times as it just lost the progress with no warning.

problem with entering passport number - you cannot edit the scanned number: mine consists of numbers and letters. it includes a,zero. i need to make sure the scan identified a zero (0), and not an o or O. can't do that.
