TRAVELING TO THE USA WITH THE ESTA DOCUMENT IS ESSENTIAL

Established since January 2009, the ESTA declaration is available free of charge for anyone wishing to travel to the USA and who meet the criteria. But since September 2010, this service has become chargeable. Note that people traveling with the authorization must belong to a country subject to this visa exemption.

THE DOCUMENT IS FREE, NOW PAYABLE

Before filling out your ESTA form and sending your authorization request, you must now pay a fee. This tax covers all of your administrative costs until you obtain your travel authorization.

The sites allowing you to submit your request provide you with a multitude of services, such as the translation of the form into French, a help and assistance service in case of need and many others. Application fees, payment of taxes and service fees are included in a single price which can vary from 55 to 80 € depending on the site. You will be able to submit your ESTA declaration request on the specialized site at the bottom of the page.

IS YOUR ESTA DOCUMENT PENDING?

Following the submission of your ESTA request, you have three options for responding. The first is an accepted travel request, which means that you can embark for the United States. The second is a refused ESTA application which leads you to apply for a US visa . The third option is that your request is pending; in the most common cases, your request gets a favorable or unfavorable response within a minute, but in some cases it takes longer. If your request is pending, a final result will reach you within 72 hours.
