IS ESTA COMPULSORY OR NOT?

To date, 3 types of authorization allow French nationals to travel to the USA. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

This table shows that ESTA offers the most advantages and the fewest disadvantages.

The ESTA is the ideal solution for people wishing to stay in the United States for a maximum of 90 consecutive days, for tourism or business reasons. Although the mandatory ESTA does not allow you to hold a job in the USA, it does allow you to travel to the USA for meetings, conferences, short unpaid training courses…

ESTA, which stands for “Electric System for Travel Authorization”, was created to simplify travel to the United States for non-US citizens. Created as part of the Visa Waiver Program, 38 countries now benefit from the program.

Every year since then, millions of travelers have taken advantage of this simplified authorization opportunity. If you too would like to receive yours, esta-officiel-usa.com is here to help.
