Traveler notes
Tips
- Apply before travel and make sure passport details match exactly, including given names and surname order.
- Keep your arrival airport and travel dates available when completing the application, and carry your authorization details when traveling.
- Use an email address you can access during travel for application updates and follow-up instructions.
Important notes
- ESTA approval does not guarantee entry; final admission is determined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry.
- If your passport changes, your ESTA may need a new application even within the 2-year validity period.
- Answer all eligibility questions carefully and consistently, as mismatches can delay processing or lead to refusal.
