New ESTA Requirements
Effective January 12, 2009, all travelers entering the United States (by air or sea) from one of the 35 countries under the Visa Waiver Program are required to hold a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). Recently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) transitioned to an enforced compliance of the ESTA for the Visa Waiver Program travelers. U.S.-bound travelers are recommended to apply for an ESTA at least 72 hours prior to departure. For more information, please visit https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/esta.html?_flowExecutionKey=_c276B5CC4-BB5D-999B-154D-C42B94F1E5C7_k0FB4BCDB-6F6E-F05C-328F-95C2540644B3.
