Disclaimer
US ESTA serves as a prescreening tool for entry into the United States. Receipt of a US ESTA does not guarantee entry into the United States, final decision for entry resides at the port of entry with the US Customs and Border Protection Service and Department of Homeland Security. It does not meet the legal or regulatory requirements to serve in lieu of a U.S. visa when a visa is required under U.S. law. Individuals who possess a valid visa will still be able to travel to the United States on that visa for the purpose for which it was issued. Individuals traveling on valid visas are not required to apply for ESTA. CIBTvisas and this site are not affiliated with any government body. We manage the entire application process on your behalf, assisting you to navigate through the complicated requirements. Fees will vary based on the destination and complexity of your application. CIBTvisas service fees are additional and separate to any government/consular fees due to the relevant embassy. You can apply for an ESTA directly through the DHS website, however you will not benefit from the CIBTvisas services listed above.
