USA ESTA Basic information
The USA ESTA is an Electronic System for Travel Authorization, which allows citizens of specific countries to apply for their US visa online and use it for tourism, business, and transit purposes.
ESTA enables its holders multiple entries into the USA over a period of two years, or until one’s passport expires, whichever comes first. Moreover, it allows staying in the United States for up to 90 days as a non-immigrant visitor with each visit.
The validity period is 2 years. Electronic visas to the USA will not be extended or renewed automatically. One’s ESTA is expired, it’s necessary to apply for a new one online.
Electronic System for Travel Authorization was introduced in 2009 and has dramatically increased the number of people traveling to the country. It basically turns applying for a US Visa into a 5-minute online process!
ESTA makes it much easier for tourists, business travelers, and those transiting through the USA because in such cases it is no longer required to visit an Embassy to get a regular visa.
Instead, a 3-step online application process must be completed. Travelers can apply within just a few minutes from home!
The United States offers a one-size-fits-all entry permit that covers tourism, business, and transit.
ESTA characteristics are as follows:
Multi-purpose – meant for tourists, business travelers, and those who wish to transit through the USA on their way somewhere else.
Multi-entry – valid for 2 years starting from the date of approval, during which you may enter and exit the USA as many times as you wish.
Flexible – each time you enter the USA, you may stay for up to 90 days in a row.

- Our role at Evisa Express is to facilitate the submission of applications to the US government through our website. The final approval of applications, as well as processing times, ultimately rest with the government of the United States of America
Once your application has been given approval by the US government, your online visa immediately becomes valid and expires after 2 years from the date of issue.
During that time, ESTA visa holders have the right of multiple entry: entering and exiting the USA freely, each stay can be as long as 90 days at a time!
Please note! The electronic US visalinks directly to your passport; thus, it’s essential to remember that if your travel document expires, should you lose it, or change any data on it, your electronic entry permit to the United States becomes invalid.
Some travelers are not looking for anextended visit to the USA, but simply need to travel through the country on their way somewhere else. This is called “transiting.”
Please note that transiting requires an ESTA, just like tourism and business travel. In other words, even if you don’t intend to leave the airport terminal before boarding your transfer flight, you still must apply for an online US visa.
A traveler carrying an approved ESTA must present a valid passport when they enter the United States. A photocopy or photo will not be enough – you will be asked to show the physical document for inspection.
The electronic US visa does not need to be printed out since it links directly to your travel document. The customs officials will check if you have a valid ESTA upon examining your passport.
