One think I would mention is a esta doesn't guarantee your entry in the USA just permission to travel there its ultimately up to the border agent at USA Airport. I don't think this was mentioned on the video 😊
Quite right @michaellomax the ESTA grants permission to travel to the USA NOT to enter the USA. That (as you rightly point out) is up to the Boarder Protection Agent. Thanks for watching.
@FloridaTipsForBrits so esta isn't safe...? I don't have a visa and I'm very worried i already booked my ticket for usa I go I may should I get a visa too just in case If I have time ?
@@danae9164 do not get a visa. Visas are typically harder to get. Also, only US citizens and LPRs (Green Card holders) have guaranteed entry to the US. Everybody else on Esta, visa free travel, on immigrant or non immigrant visa are never guaranteed entry to the US. Most people are admitted though. In addition, once you apply for visa, you unlikely ever going to get Esta approved. Just keep travelling on Esta. Don't come too often and / or too long, leave on time, abide the laws and don't work without authorization. You'll be fine with solid travel plans.
Thanks for this amazing video! I am flying to the US tomorrow and to check in online, my airline is asking for my “ESTA number” but they say it’s different from my application number.
Hi, Hoping you can help I am on a cruise flying to Barbados direct from Manchester UK and also fly back from there but we stop at two US Virgin Isles on the cruise, not sure what to fill in on the travel information page as I am only on the ship the whole time.
I was a citizen of another country, had a passport there too. However I don’t have information from when it was issued and expired. How do I answer that question. Can I put unknown and will I still get approved..? Thanks
Hi! My husband and I are travelling to Miami, spending 4 days there, then a Riviera Maya cruise and then travelling from Miami to Cuba. How do we mark the 'in transit' box? Miami is not our final destination but we will be staying there for a few days. Thanks!
I am taking a career break at the moment and just traveling around the world( i have been traveling for 18 months so far). Does this effect my ESTA application? Thanks
It keeps saying that the given adress and phone number is wrong, when its correct, then theres a box i can check in that says that im really sure its correct. But it dosent let me move forward to the next step
Please help me! If i need another 90 days on my ESTA can I apply for a new ESTA while I am in the U.S? Or would I have to leave the country before complete 90 days and reaply for a new ESTA then come back? Thank you!
no mention at the end having to wait to pay for application. I just applied a few minutes ago. Pay now button just took me out of the website. no form for card details came up. My application details have been saved though. I can easily retrieve them. but it says payment status pending. I wasn't asked for my bank details!! plus it says I need to pay in 7 days but there is no link or pay button to do so. I just assume the link will be sent in due course.
Hello there. Could you please help me to clarify this question 'Have you ever been issued a passpord or id for travel by any other country' (10:12)? Does this basically mean if you have dual citizenship. Thank youu 😊

I applied on 7th june 2024 , today is wednesday the 12th june, still i have not received any reply.m I re ghan 72 hours.can you please tell why. Thanks
Sorry to ask if this has already been covered but do I need to make a new esta if I visit and then leave again or does it cover me to go back and forward across 2 years?
Hi @gideonb93, once you have your ESTA approved it can be used for multiple trips for up to 2 years from the date it is issued or until your passport expires, whatever comes first. Hope this helps and thanks for watching
@@FloridaTipsForBrits What if I am in the US and its about to expire the 90 days and lets say I will need another 90 days. DO I need to leave the country and then come back? I know under ESTA programe you are aloued to travel to the US twice a year, so 90 days tecnically, right?
Hi! I have moroccan passport but I’ve lived in Spain for 22 years with a permanent residence permit, would that be enough to get to the States with an ESTA? Because I already applied and it’s been approved but I’m afraid I will have problems in the borders. Thank you!!!
I was a citizen of another country before and had a passport there too. However I don’t have the information of the issue date and expire date. How can I answer that question can anyone tell me. Thank you
did you also pay more than 21$ ? there are many sites supposedly giving services '' helping '' you with an ESTA and present themselves like an ESTA site.. and probably they do it for with the data you gave them and probably put UNKOWN to the adresses . Happened to me too . got aproved but paid 98$

I will be travelling from Nigeria to bahamas for a vacation, and I was told that I need a transit visa to transit through USA, can I apply for ESTA for transit purposes?
Hi @MrCraigcur, you won’t get a certificate or anything, all that will happen is your application status will change from “pending” to “authorised” (hopefully 😊) on the website. It is recommended that once your stair is is updated, you should print that screen for your records, although I have never had to show it to anyone. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!

If you travel on this and find work when out there can you aply for a work visa when there ?
if I get denial, what's the chances to get interview visa it's way more complicated than to get esta. isn't?
Does it show in ESTA the purpose of visit or ESTA can be used for pleasure and/or business trip purpose?
The part of employment what if your not working at the moment do you stil write yes and put last job details ?
Concerning employment information, what if you are a student? Whats the info you are going to fill in
A quick question - with known by other names or aliases does that include if you've changed your name by deed poll?

If you arrange the ESTA early and don’t know where you’re staying, how do you declare your accommodation?

So this way you can enter the us with only this visa and your passport, nothing else needed, right?
