PRINT YOUR ESTA NUMBER TO GO TO THE USA

The ESTA form is an official document for returning to the USA. It is provided with an identification number. In order to guarantee the security of travelers leaving for the USA, the Department of Homeland Security has developed this alternative system to the visa.

WHO CAN GET THE ESTA NUMBER?

Although obtaining the ESTA number has been made easier, it is not available to everyone. Indeed, to be able to benefit from ESTA, you must be able to meet a few conditions. First, be part of one of the beneficiary countries of the visa waiver program. This program concerns around twenty European countries, including France and Belgium and also some Asian countries.

Then, the stay in the USA must not exceed 90 days. The last condition concerns the reason for the trip, the only valid reasons are tourism, transit and business. If you meet these conditions, you can then submit your file in order to obtain your ESTA .

HOW TO GET YOUR ESTA NUMBER?

If you meet all the conditions necessary to obtain the ESTA number, all you have to do is fill in the online form. To be able to do so, simply choose one of the many specialized sites. The procedure works like this: you will have to answer a series of questions about your identity, the purpose of your trip as well as your immigration history in the United States, your legal past as well as your state health.
