You are normally allowed to stay in the United States for up to 90 days per entry.

If you plan to stay in the United States for longer than 90 days, an ESTA is usually not enough. The visa you need depends on the purpose of your trip and how long you plan to stay in the country.

Feel free to contact Alla Visum and we will help you find the right visa for your situation and planned length of stay.

ESTA can be used for many types of short business trips such as meetings, conferences, and business negotiations. However, for some activities, a special business visa may be required.

No. The ESTA is not extendable. If you need to stay longer than allowed, you must apply for an appropriate visa according to U.S. regulations.

Yes. The ESTA is linked to the passport used to apply. If you receive a new passport, you will need to apply for a new ESTA, even if your previous ESTA is still valid.

If information such as your hotel address, contact person, or residence address in the United States changes after your ESTA has been approved, you do not need to apply for a new ESTA. However, U.S. authorities recommend that travel information be kept up to date whenever possible. Therefore, if your hotel reservation or address has changed, it is advisable to update the information in your ESTA before traveling. Changes to the itinerary do not affect the validity of an already approved ESTA.

To apply for ESTA, you must be a citizen of a country that participates in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, have a valid passport, and meet the requirements set by the U.S. authorities for entry. Previous visa denials, criminal backgrounds, immigration rule violations, or travel to certain countries may affect your ability to obtain ESTA.

U.S. authorities do not always provide a detailed explanation for why an ESTA application is denied. Common reasons may include incorrect information in the application, previous immigration cases, criminal history, security-related issues, or the applicant not meeting the conditions of the Visa Waiver Program.

Yes, it is possible to submit a new ESTA application. If the refusal was due to incorrect or incomplete information, a new application may in some cases be approved after the information has been corrected. If, on the other hand, the rejection is due to the fact that you do not meet the conditions for ESTA, the probability of a different outcome in a new application is normally low. In such situations, you may need to apply for a U.S. visa through the U.S. Embassy instead. If you are unsure about the reason for the refusal, Alla Visum will be happy to help you assess your options.

Yes. An approved ESTA does not guarantee that it will remain valid for the duration of its validity. U.S. authorities may revoke or invalidate an ESTA at any time if new information becomes available or if you no longer meet the terms of the Visa Waiver Program.

If you submit a new ESTA application while a previous ESTA is still valid, the new application will normally replace the previous one. It is therefore important to check that you really need to reapply before submitting a new application.

No. An approved ESTA will allow you to travel to the United States, but the final decision on entry is always made by the Border Protection Authority upon arrival.

Yes. All travelers, including infants and children, must have their own approved ESTA and their own valid passport to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program.

ESTA is not normally intended for long-term study in the United States. If you are going to complete a study program or longer education, you will usually need a student visa.
