</span> about ESTA visa

• ESTA stands for "Electronic System for Travel Authorization"
• It is the automated system for entering the USA
• Valid for 2 years and allows multiple entry into the USA
• Visa Waiver Program allows the US Department<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">

          <span itemprop="name">official website</span>
          <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website" />
  </span> or visit the US Customs and Border<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
          <span itemprop="name">Border</span>
          <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_control" />
  </span> Protection for other requirements.

ESTA is the Electronic System for Travel Authorization that has been put in place to replace the American express<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Corporation">
        <span itemprop="name">American express</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Express" />
</span> visa-system in the United States for certain countries. This is part of the Waiver System (commonly shortened to VWP) and is a way of sorting your entry easily via the online application before you make your trip to the US. Just note that this is a travel authorization. By using this online service, you can travel to the United States for business or for pleasure over the duration of 2 years, so long as your trip lasts no longer than 90 days.

The ESTA is valid for the entire duration, and you can make multiple trips to the USA during this time so long as your holidays or business trips to the U.S follow the requirements for ESTA.

The travel program was created by the Department of Homeland Security of the United States, permitting citizens of 40 nations, the freedom to travel to the United States of America without needing to apply for an official American visa. The ESTA application can be completed online within 20 minutes. An approved ESTA allows you unlimited entry to the United States as long as each visit is no longer than 90 days.

Eligible Countries of the VWP

Citizens whose country is participating in the Visa Waiver Program are qualified to apply for ESTA. It is important to know if you are before you arrange any travel plans for the USA.

Taiwan * Citizens with Taiwanese<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">Taiwanese</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan" />
</span> national ID<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">ID</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia" />
</span> number only

United Kingdom * Only British citizens

The Future of VWP

Nominated and Mapped countries that can be part of the Visa Waiver Program.

• The VWP currently includes 40 countries that are eligible for free entry to the USA.
• Citizens from these countries currently benefit from being able to apply for an ESTA if they wish to visit the US for business, tourism, or transit purposes. The process of applying for an ESTA USA is much quicker and simpler than the application process for an America visa, so it is very beneficial for citizens within the VWP list of countries when they want to travel to the USA.

VWP was a result of the country's financial crisis<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">financial crisis</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis" />
</span>, with concerns regarding mass people seeking emigration<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">emigration</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigration" />
</span>.

2018, Hungary was considered to be taken out of VWP due to the high volume of passport<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">passport</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport" />
</span> fraud.

In addition to the 3 EU<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
        <span itemprop="name">EU</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" />
</span> countries mentioned above as being possible additions to the VWP in the near future, experts<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">experts</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert" />
</span> have also suggested that Argentina, Brazil, and Israel could be included in the VWP at some point soon.

The decisions around adding or removing countries from the VWP are complex and whilst officials for the tourism sector are keen to include more countries to boost the US economy<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">economy</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States" />
</span>, that is not the key concern. The prioritization of security<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">security</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_security" />
</span> is a big determiner in whether countries are added or removed and with the terrorist<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
        <span itemprop="name">terrorist</span>
        <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism" />
</span> acts that have taken place in recent years, improving the security of the US Customs and Border Protection is a key factor in VWP decision-making.

There are now talks about the VWP being rebranded to reflect that it is part of the USA security framework, rather than just an easy way to get access to enter the USA. Over the next few years, there could be many changes to the VWP, as the Department of Homeland Security continues to review the situation.
