Veelgestelde vragen
What is an ESTA?
An ESTA is the digital travel authorization for the United States under the Visa Waiver Program. It is not a visa, but it is required before you can board a flight to the US.
How long is an ESTA valid?
Two years, or until your passport expires if that comes first. Within that period you can use it for multiple trips.
How long can I stay in the US each time?
Up to 90 days per entry. The ESTA is meant for short stays, not for living, studying or working.
How many trips does an ESTA cover?
Multiple trips. As long as your ESTA is valid and your passport has not expired, you can travel to the US again and again.
How fast will I have my ESTA?
Often within a few minutes to 72 hours. Faster options are available for travelers in a hurry.
How do I receive my ESTA?
The approved authorization arrives by email and is linked digitally to your passport. There is nothing to print or carry with you.
What are the passport requirements?
You need a valid passport that stays valid throughout your entire stay in the US. No photo or passport scan is required.
What if my application is refused?
With a correct application, approval is almost certain for most travelers. If an ESTA is not granted, you can instead apply for a visa at a US consulate.
