What is a United States Visa and What are the Costs?
ESTA stands for Electronic System for Travel Authorization. This is an authorization to travel to the United States. If you have a passport from a country participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), you can apply for an ESTA. An ESTA is equivalent to a visa, you will receive confirmation by email.
All travelers (including children) to America are required to obtain their own visa or ESTA prior to travel. You must also be in possession of an ESTA when transferring (at the airport) in America. The only exception to this is if the plane makes a stop in America to refuel, where you will not leave the plane. In all other situations the traveler must obtain a visa before entering the borders of the United States of America.
Traveldocs can apply for this ESTA for you. We first examine the application before applying for it manually. This way you can be sure that the application was completely correct and safe. This way you can travel to the US without any worries!
Traveldocs charges €44.00,- including VAT per person, per ESTA. Typically, it only takes up to 72 hours after applying for us to receive a response from the U.S. government to the request.
If you would like to know the price for obtaining a regular visa for America (valid for 5 to 10 years), please contact us about this, as rates and requirements may vary per person. It is only possible to request an ESTA entirely digitally via our website.
