HELP SECTION FOR EASY COMPLETION OF THE ESTA FORM

Applying forESTA authorization is much less tedious and complicated than applying for a visa. Since the primary purpose of ESTA is to inform the American authorities of your arrival, in order to guarantee the country’s security, the information requested is used to identify you.

Note : please make sure you have a biometric or electronic passport first. To find out, just look at the cover. There should be a microchip symbol under the title “Passport”. If this is the case, you can apply for an ESTA to travel to the United States with complete peace of mind. If not, you’ll need to apply for a new, more recent passport.

This page takes you through the various steps to help you get your ESTA authorization as quickly as possible.
