THE USEFULNESS OF THE ESTA DOCUMENT :

To travel to the United States, it is now possible for nationals of certain countries to obtain a visa waiver. To do this, travelers simply need to provide a travel authorization, more commonly known as the ESTA or Electronic System for Travel Authorization document.

WHAT IS AN ESTA FORM?

The ESTA form is a compulsory document filled in via the Internet. This applies to all passengers planning to travel to the USA. It should be stressed, however, that the ESTA form is not valid for everyone, so it’s important to find out who can apply. Only nationals of countries benefiting from the Visa Waiver Program can make this type of request.

This form is mandatory for those traveling to the USA for less than three months by air or sea.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO OBTAIN AN ESTA FORM?

Now that the ESTA form has become a must for entering the USA, you need to pay a certain amount of money to obtain it. The cost is usually between 55 and 80 euros when you make your request on specialized sites.

This ESTA fee covers the processing of your application until you receive your authorization. In the event of a problem, you’ll have access to help and assistance services in French. The questions on the ESTA form will be available in your native language, and your certificate will be e-mailed to you as soon as it has been validated by the government.

This amount is payable by credit card. Once your authorization has been granted, you will be free to travel to America as often as you like for a period of two years, respecting the 90-day time limit on American soil for each trip.

HOW TO FILL IN THE ESTA DOCUMENT

The ESTA is easy to fill out. Just follow the instructions and answer the questions correctly. To validate your request, you’ll need to give us your name, date of birth and passport details. You’ll also need to provide your travel details, including flight number and destination address.
