U.S.A.
- Visa Waiver Programme
For
British Citizens only
Travel Authorisation
is obtained through an online registration system known as
ESTA. If your registration is successful, it will be valid
for multiple applications for two years or until the date
on which your passport expires, whichever comes first.
Before going on line
to register, you should ensure that you are qualified to travel
under the Visa Waiver Program otherwise your registration
will be rejected. It also does not guarantee entry into the
United States ; that decision rests with the immigration official
at the Port of Entry in the same way that travellers currently
entering the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program or with a
visa are subject to inspection.
