About ESTA

What is ESTA?

The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is an online system introduced by the United States for nationals of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). It allows eligible travelers to visit the United States for short stays without obtaining a traditional visa.

Through this system, traveler information is reviewed before departure, supporting border security procedures and helping streamline the entry process.

An approved ESTA permits travel to the United States for purposes such as tourism, certain business activities, transit, or short recreational study.

What Is the Visa Waiver Program?

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) is a U.S. legal framework that designates 42 countries as participants in a program allowing visa-free travel to the United States, subject to specific eligibility conditions.

Travelers seeking to visit the United States under the VWP must obtain approved authorization before departure.
