Official ESTA ?HELP

For å styrke sikkerheten ved reiser til USA under Visa Waiver-programmet, er kravene for visumfrie reiser forbedret. Borgere fra Visa Waiver-programland kan fortsatt reise uten visum, men de må skaffe seg godkjent reiseautorisasjon på forhånd.

Department of Homeland Security og United States Customs and Border Protection har etablert en sikker nettside der du eller tredjeparter kan fylle ut og be om reisetillatelse. Etter å ha oppgitt nødvendig biografisk, reise- og betalingsinformasjon, vil systemet behandle søknaden din for å avgjøre om du er kvalifisert for visumfri reise. Du vil motta et automatisk svar, og før ombordstigning vil en operatør verifisere din godkjente reisetillatelse elektronisk hos Toll- og grensebeskyttelsen.

Det elektroniske systemet for reiseautorisasjon (ESTA) er et automatisk system som brukes til å vurdere besøkendes kvalifikasjon for visumfrie reiser til USA under Visa Waiver-programmet. Godkjenning av ESTA gir reisende tillatelse til å gå om bord på flyreiser til USA under programmet. Det er viktig å merke seg at ESTA ikke er et visum og kan ikke erstatte et amerikansk visum når det er påkrevd. Reisende med gyldig amerikansk visum trenger ikke å søke om ESTA-autorisasjon.

ESTA-søknader ble obligatoriske fra 12. januar 2009. Søkere til Visa Waiver-programmet må fylle ut en blå tolldeklarasjon ved ankomst, uavhengig av om de har en ESTA-autorisasjon eller ikke. Godkjente ESTA-søknader er gyldige i opptil to år eller til passet utløper, og gir mulighet for flere reiser til USA i løpet av den perioden. Hver besøk får imidlertid ikke overstige 90 dager, og det bør være en rimelig periode mellom besøkene for å unngå mistanke om forsøk på å bosette seg i landet.

Hvis godkjent, vil reisende hvis pass utløper innen to år, motta en ESTA-autorisasjon som er gyldig frem til passets utløpsdato. En ny ESTA-autorisasjon er nødvendig ved nytt pass, navneendring, kjønnsendring (ESTA tilbyr for øyeblikket ikke et "X"-kjønnsalternativ), endring av statsborgerskap eller betydelige endringer i omstendighetene, som for eksempel strafferettslige dommer eller ervervelse av en smittsom sykdom.

Det anbefales å søke om ESTA-godkjenning så snart reisen under Visa Waiver-programmet er planlagt. Utløpt ESTA-godkjenning under oppholdet i USA påvirker ikke utreiseprosessen. Det er viktig å ha en utskriftskopi av kvitteringsdokumentet for dine egne opplysninger, selv om det ikke er nødvendig å skrive ut skjemaet ved ankomst, da agentene allerede har elektronisk informasjon.

Vær oppmerksom på at en godkjent reiseautorisasjon er forskjellig fra et visum. Den oppfyller ikke de lovlige eller regulatoriske kravene for å erstatte et amerikansk visum når det er obligatorisk i henhold til lovene i USA. Personer med et gyldig visum kan fortsatt reise til USA med det, så lenge det brukes til det spesifikke formålet det ble utstedt for. Reisende med et gyldig visum trenger ikke å be om en separat reiseautorisasjon.

7. A United States Customs and Border Protection inspection agent determines that you are admissible under the Immigration and Nationality Act and eligible for admission under the Visa Waiver Program.
8. You waive any right to reconsideration or appeal of the decision made by the United States Customs and Border Protection agent regarding your admissibility or any expulsion measure resulting from an application under the Visa Waiver Program, except for those based on an application for asylum.
9. Upon arrival in the United States, you provide biometric identifiers (such as fingerprints and photographs) during the admission process, reaffirming your waiver of any right to reconsideration or appeal of the eligibility decision made by the United States Customs and Border Protection agent, or any expulsion measure resulting from an application under the Visa Waiver Program, except for those based on an application for asylum.
10. You do not pose a threat to the welfare, health, safety, or security of the United States.

[1] Please note that the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 includes Taiwan under the term “country” or “countries” for the purposes of the Visa Waiver Program. This is consistent with the one-China policy of the United States, which maintains unofficial relations with Taiwan since 1979.

Visa Waiver-programmet gjør det mulig for borgere fra visse land å reise til USA for forretnings- eller turistformål og oppholde seg opptil 90 dager uten behov for visum. De som blir innvilget innreise under dette programmet må fraskrive seg retten til omprøving eller anke, som beskrevet i Avkall på Rettigheter-seksjonen i søknaden. For ytterligere detaljer, vennligst se kravene for å søke om innreise under Visa Waiver-programmet. Ekstra informasjon finnes i §217 i Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1187 og 8 C.F.R. § 217.

For å sjekke statusen på en individuell ESTA-forespørsel kan du besøke hjemmesiden og klikke på "Sjekk ESTA-status" -alternativet. Hvis du ikke har søknadsnummeret ditt, kan du oppgi etternavn, fornavn (kallenavn), landet der passet ditt ble utstedt, passnummeret og fødselsdatoen for å hente forespørselen din.

Informasjonen som blir sendt inn av søkere gjennom ESTAs elektroniske portal er beskyttet av strenge personvernsregler og kontroller, og sikrer samme sikkerhetsnivå som andre programmer for forhåndsvurdering av reisende. Tilgang til denne informasjonen er begrenset til autoriserte personer med faglig behov for å kjenne til den.

In most cases, the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) will provide an immediate status update on your request. However, if additional processing time is required, you can expect to receive a response within 72 hours. If your response shows as “pending,” you will receive instructions on how to verify the status of your request. There are three possible responses to an ESTA request:

1. Authorization Approved:
Your travel authorization has been approved, granting you permission to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program. The system will confirm the approval and provide a payment receipt indicating the charged amount to your credit card. It’s important to note that a travel authorization does not guarantee entry to the United States, as the final decision rests with the Customs and Border Protection agent at the port of entry.

2. Travel Not Authorized:
You are not authorized to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program. In this case, you may need to apply for a visa through the Department of State. For more information on visa application procedures, please visit the United States Department of State website at www.travel.state.gov. It’s important to understand that this response does not prevent you from entering the United States altogether; it simply means that you cannot travel under the Visa Waiver Program. The system will also provide a payment receipt indicating the charged amount for the ESTA application process.

3. Authorization Pending:
Your travel authorization is currently under evaluation because an immediate determination could not be made. This response does not imply any negative outcome. Typically, the final determination will be available within 72 hours. To check the status of your application, please return to the ESTA portal and select “Check application status in ESTA.” You will be prompted to enter your application number, passport number, and date of birth for verification purposes.

Children, whether accompanied or unaccompanied, who are nationals or citizens of countries with visa exemption, are required to obtain their own ESTA approval before traveling to the United States, regardless of their age.

If you have filled out an ESTA application on behalf of a minor, you can select the second option in the Rights Exemption section, which is specifically designed for third-party applicants. As the legal representative of your child, you must understand the ESTA terms on their behalf and provide truthful answers to the questions and statements.

Children who are listed in their parents’ passports are not eligible to apply for ESTA. They must have their own valid passport in order to qualify for ESTA.

Children’s passports, known as Kinderreisepass, are generally not eligible for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), unless they were issued or extended before October 26, 2006. To qualify for the VWP, the document must meet certain eligibility criteria, including being machine-readable and having a digital photograph of the owner integrated into the biographical information page, if it was issued, renewed, or extended after October 26, 2005. Identification numbers of children holding Kinderausweis require a visa and do not participate in the VWP.

Når din elektroniske reiseautorisasjon er godkjent, betyr det at du har privilegiet til å reise til USA under Visa Waiver Program. Det er imidlertid viktig å merke seg at godkjenning ikke garanterer adgang til landet. Ved ankomst til USA vil en toll- og grensekontrolltjenestemann på innreisehavnen gjennomføre en inspeksjon og har myndighet til å vurdere din berettigelse under Visa Waiver Program eller basert på andre kriterier fastsatt i amerikansk lov.

"Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007" (9/11 Act) introduserte en rekke anbefalinger den 11. september 2007, som senere ble endret av seksjon 217 i Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Disse anbefalingene påla Department of Homeland Security (DHS) å etablere et elektronisk reisegodkjennelsessystem og implementere ytterligere tiltak for å forbedre sikkerheten i Visa Waiver-programmet. Det elektroniske systemet for reisegodkjenning (ESTA) fungerer som en ekstra sikkerhetstiltak som gjør at DHS kan vurdere, før reisen, om en person oppfyller kravene for å reise til USA under Visa Waiver-programmet, og om reisen deres utgjør noen sikkerhets- eller offentlige ordensrisikoer.

Faktisk blir dette elektroniske webportalen administrert av den amerikanske regjeringen og bruker avansert teknologi for å beskytte mot uautorisert tilgang til informasjonen du gir og får tilgang til. Dessuten overholder denne elektroniske portalen reglene og retningslinjene som er fastsatt i den amerikanske personvernloven, og sikrer dermed den høyeste graden av personvern for dine personlige opplysninger.

Ja, det er viktig å merke seg at ESTA-systemet ikke lagrer betalingsinformasjonen din etter at transaksjonen er behandlet vellykket.

The information provided through the ESTA application will remain active for the duration of the approved ESTA authorization, typically two years or until the expiration of the traveler’s passport, whichever comes first. Afterward, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will retain this information for an additional year before archiving it for a period of twelve years. This archival is done to facilitate retrieval for purposes related to public order, national security, or investigations. Access to the archived information is strictly limited to authorized officials. This practice aligns with the CBP’s border search authority and its mission of border security as mandated by Congress. Information linked to ongoing public order surveillance records, CBP enforcement activities, investigations, or cases, including denied ESTA requests, will remain accessible for the duration of the relevant public order activities.

DHS has transitioned to an electronic I-94W form, and as a result, the data from the ESTA application will replace the information previously collected through the printed I-94W form. In cases where ESTA application data is used as a substitute for the printed I-94W form information, the information provided in the ESTA application will be retained in accordance with the I-94W retention program, which spans 75 years.

Du kan sende inn søknaden når som helst før den planlagte reisen til USA. Det anbefales imidlertid av Department of Homeland Security å sende inn søknad om reisetillatelse minst 72 timer før avreise. Når den er godkjent, forblir reisetillatelser gyldige i en periode på to år fra autorisasjonsdatoen eller til passets utløpsdato, avhengig av hva som kommer først. Med mindre det foreligger en tilbakekalling, forblir autorisasjonen gyldig for den angitte perioden.

The information collected and stored in ESTA may be accessed by other officers within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) who have a legitimate need to know the information for their specific duties and responsibilities.

As per the current agreements between DHS and the Department of State (DOS), the information provided in an ESTA application may be shared with DOS consular officers. This sharing of information assists them in determining whether to issue a visa to an applicant after a travel authorization application has been denied.

The information collected in ESTA may also be shared with tribal, local, state, federal, and foreign government agencies, as well as multilateral government organizations involved in the investigation, prosecution, or enforcement of laws, rules, regulations, orders, or permits. DHS may disclose the information when it believes such sharing is necessary to ensure compliance with civil or criminal laws. Additionally, DHS may share the information if it deems it reasonable for purposes related to counterterrorism, intelligence gathering, national or international security, or transnational crime investigation. All disclosures are made in accordance with the Privacy Act System of Records Notice, which was published in the Official Gazette on June 10, 2008, and can be accessed on the DHS website.

Although airlines do not receive the specific information provided by travelers in their ESTA applications, they do receive confirmation of a passenger’s ESTA status through the Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS). This confirmation indicates whether an ESTA authorization is required and whether it has been granted or not.

No, a specific travel plan is not mandatory at the time of application, but it is necessary to have a contact person in the United States.

Although a specific travel plan is not required, it is advisable to provide the address where you will be staying in the United States when completing the application. If you have multiple destinations, you should only enter the address of the first place you will be staying. If you don’t have the complete address, you can enter the name of the hotel or the location you plan to visit.

If you are transiting through the United States to reach another country, please select “yes” in response to the question “Is your trip to the United States in transit to another country?” in the Travel Information section.

Reisende som søker innreise til USA under Visa Waiver-programmet og blir ansett som uegnede, vil bli nektet adgang. De vil bli pålagt å returnere til hjemlandet eller til et tredjeland der de har en returbillett. Returreisen vil bli arrangert av flyselskapet de ankom USA med.

Nettstedet gir søkerne muligheten til å gjennomgå og redigere informasjonen sin før de sender inn søknaden, inkludert verifisering av passnummeret. Før søknaden sendes inn med betalingsdetaljer, kan alle datafeltene, bortsett fra passnummeret og landet der passet er utstedt, rettes. Hvis en søker har gjort en feil i sin biografiske informasjon eller passdetaljer, må de sende inn en ny søknad, og den gjeldende avgiften vil bli belastet. Imidlertid kan andre feil eller oppdateringer rettes ved å velge "Sjekk individuell status" i "Sjekk ESTA-status"-seksjonen. Hvis søkeren har svart feil på spørsmålene om kvalifikasjon, bør de klikke på lenken i CBP-informasjonssenteret nederst på hver side.

Alle reisende, inkludert spedbarn som er fritatt for flyavgifter, og som planlegger å besøke USA under Visa Waiver Program, må få en godkjent reisetillatelse før avreise, uavhengig av om de reiser med fly eller sjøveien. Hvis et spedbarn ikke har visum for å reise til USA, kreves det likevel en godkjent reisetillatelse. Det er tillatt for en tredjepart å sende inn søknaden om reisetillatelse på vegne av noen som reiser under Visa Waiver Program.

If you are unable to find your country of issuance in the provided drop-down menu, please ensure that you are selecting the correct country. Your “Country of issuance” should match your “Country of Nationality.” For instance, if you are a citizen of the United Kingdom but obtained your passport at the UK Consulate in Hong Kong, then the United Kingdom is considered your country of issuance. The location of the consulate does not determine the issuing country.

If you cannot locate your country of issuance or country of nationality in the options provided, it is likely that you do not need to apply for an ESTA authorization. Only citizens of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) are required to obtain an ESTA authorization.

In the case of dual nationality and ESTA registration, it is necessary to use a passport that meets the VWP requirements when departing from the country of departure and upon arrival in the United States. If both of your nationalities meet the VWP requirements, it is strongly recommended that you choose one nationality for the purpose of your trip to the United States and consistently use the passport of that country for all your travels. Having two separate ESTA authorizations can lead to confusion and unnecessary delays.

If you are a citizen of the United States as well as a country participating in the VWP, you should not apply for an ESTA authorization. As a naturalized US citizen, one of the requirements is to possess and use a US passport for travel. Although we understand that in certain situations, naturalized US citizens may use the passport of their other country for travel, it is expected that you use your US passport for both legs of the journey when traveling from another country to the United States.

In the event of a genuine emergency where you are unable to obtain your US passport before your travels and possess only a passport participating in the VWP, you will need to apply for an ESTA authorization using that passport for travel to the United States. Upon arrival at the US airport with your foreign passport, you will be required to go through the non-resident line.

Travel authorizations, unless revoked, remain valid for two years from the date of authorization or until your passport expires, whichever occurs first. The expiration date of your travel authorization is displayed on the approved Authorization screen.

Typically, an ESTA authorization allows for multiple trips within a two-year period from the date of approval or until your passport expires, whichever comes first*. This means that as long as you have a valid ESTA authorization, you do not need to reapply during the validity period.

If your ESTA authorization expires while you are in the United States, it will not affect your departure from the country.

Please note: It is important to print a copy of the document for your records. You do not need to present the form upon arrival in the United States, as the agents already have the information electronically.

Obtaining an ESTA authorization does not entitle you to stay in the United States for two years. It only permits you to travel to the United States under the conditions of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which allows a maximum stay of 90 days. If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, you must obtain a visa from the nearest US embassy or consulate.

* If you acquire a new passport, change your name, gender, or nationality, or if any of your answers to the eligibility questions for the VWP change, you will need to apply for a new travel authorization. A fee of US $64 will be charged for each new application.

Please note: Although it is recommended by CBP to submit your request at least 72 hours before your trip, you may do so at any time prior to boarding. In most cases, you will receive a response seconds after submitting your request.

Hvis du får et nytt pass eller gjør endringer i passinformasjonen din, er det nødvendig å søke om en ny reiseautorisasjon og betale de gjeldende avgiftene. Se avsnittet "Hvilken informasjon kan jeg oppdatere?" for en omfattende beskrivelse av informasjonen som kan endres etter at du har sendt inn søknaden.

The ESTA program was carefully developed by DHS to ensure that travel authorization is only denied to individuals who are ineligible to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program or who may pose a security or law enforcement risk. While the ESTA website provides a link to the DHS Travel Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP) website, it is important to note that submitting a request through DHS TRIP does not guarantee resolution of the eligibility issue that led to the ESTA denial.

Please be aware that embassies and consulates cannot provide specific details about ESTA denials or address the underlying issue that caused the denial. However, embassies and consulates may process applications for non-immigrant visas, which, if approved, would provide an alternative authorization for travel to the United States for individuals whose ESTA application has been denied.

If your authorization request receives an unauthorized trip response, but you still intend to proceed with your travel plans, we recommend visiting the Department of State website at www.travel.state.gov for further guidance on applying for a visa. It’s important to note that a denial of travel authorization under the Visa Waiver Program does not necessarily imply ineligibility for obtaining an approved visa to travel to the United States.

Please be aware that if your travel authorization is not approved, no court will have jurisdiction to review the eligibility decision made by ESTA.

If a traveler is denied ESTA authorization and their circumstances remain unchanged, submitting a new application will result in another denial. It’s important to note that travelers who do not meet the ESTA requirements do not have the privilege to travel under the Visa Waiver Program and must instead apply for a nonimmigrant visa at a US embassy or consulate.

Attempting to submit a new application with false information in order to meet the travel authorization requirements will permanently disqualify the traveler from participating in the Visa Waiver Program and traveling to the United States.

Dessverre kan ikke Utenriksdepartementet gi noen forsikring om daglig tilgjengelighet av avtaler på grunn av den varierende etterspørselen etter visum. Informasjon om avtaleprosessen finnes i avsnittet for nærmeste konsulat eller på Utenriksdepartementets nettside. Derfor oppfordres reisende sterkt til å søke om ESTA-godkjenning godt i forkant av planlagt reisedato.

Det er viktig å fylle ut alle obligatoriske felt i søknaden. Selv om feilinformasjon ikke automatisk fører til avslag på søknaden, kan det kreve manuell vurdering av CBP, noe som resulterer i ekstra behandlingstid før en respons blir gitt til søkeren.

A new travel authorization may be required in the following circumstances:

– The traveler obtains a new passport.
– The traveler changes their name.
– The traveler changes their gender.
– The traveler changes their nationality.
– There is a change in the traveler’s previous responses to any of the questions in the ESTA application that require a “yes” or “no” answer.

Normally, travel authorization approvals are valid for a period of two years or until the expiration of the traveler’s passport, whichever comes first. The approved ESTA will indicate the effective dates. Therefore, before the current authorization expires or when obtaining a new passport, the traveler must request a new travel authorization through ESTA. A specified fee will be charged for each new application submitted.

If your ESTA authorization has expired, you will need to submit a new application at esta.cbp.dhs.gov. It is not possible to extend existing authorizations.

You do not have to wait for your ESTA authorization to expire before reapplying; you can do so at any time. If you receive a message stating, “A valid approved application for this passport has been found, with more than 30 days available. To proceed with this request, you must pay and cancel the existing one,” you can proceed with your new application. Your previous ESTA application will be canceled and replaced by the new one.

Generally, ESTA approvals are granted for a period of two years or until the expiration of the applicant’s passport, whichever comes first. The approval allows for multiple entries, meaning you can use it for more than one trip to the United States. The ESTA will indicate the effective dates of the approved request. Each new application will incur the specified fee of US $71.00.

“I’m a Canadian citizen?”
No, Canadian citizens who travel with a Canadian passport don’t need an ESTA authorization.

“I’m a permanent resident of Canada?”
If you are a permanent resident of Canada and a citizen of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and enter the United States by land, an ESTA authorization is not required. If you don’t have an ESTA authorization, you will be asked to complete the I-94W printed form and proceed through the manual entry process at the land border crossing. If you have an approved ESTA authorization when you enter the United States through the border crossing, you will NOT have to complete the I-94W printed form, and your entry process will be sped up. If you are traveling to the United States by air or sea, you MUST apply for ESTA authorization. If you are not a citizen of a country covered by the VWP, you are required to have a visa, and therefore, ESTA authorization does not apply to your situation.

“I’m a legal permanent resident of the United States and a citizen of a country that participates in the VWP?”
Nei.

“I’m a citizen of a country covered by the VWP, and I’m visiting the United States from Canada or Mexico?”
If you are a citizen of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and you enter the United States by land from Mexico or Canada, an ESTA authorization is not required. If you don’t have an ESTA authorization, you will be asked to complete the I-94W printed form and go through the manual entry process at the land border crossing. If you have an approved ESTA authorization when you enter the United States through the border crossing, you will NOT have to complete the I-94W printed form, and your entry process will be sped up. However, if it has already been issued, you must return your I-94W green card when leaving the United States. If you arrive by air or sea, you must request ESTA authorization.

“I am a citizen of a country that participates in the VWP, and I am traveling to the United States by air in transit through the country?”
Yes, you must apply for ESTA authorization, even if you are only in transit through the United States. In the address request space on the form, write “in transit.”

“I have dual citizenship from a country that participates in the VWP and one that doesn’t?”
If you are flying in compliance with VWP conditions using your VWP passport, you must apply for ESTA authorization. If you are using the passport of the country that doesn’t participate in the VWP, you will need a visa, and therefore, ESTA authorization applies in your case.

“I’m a citizen of a country that participates in the VWP, and I’m on my way to Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)?”
For international travel to Guam/CNMI under the VWP, an ESTA authorization is needed. Nationalities that meet the VWP requirements for Guam/CNMI can travel to these places under that program without the need for ESTA authorization. However, regarding the VWP for Guam/CNMI, the maximum stay is 45 days and is restricted to those islands only; the trip cannot be to the United States. The trip from the United States to Guam/CNMI is considered a domestic flight, so no ESTA authorization is needed. Travelers must go through prior inspection to travel from Guam/CNMI to the United States. If that trip takes place under the VWP, they will need ESTA authorization.

“I’m a citizen of a country that participates in the VWP, and I’m traveling for business or tourism reasons for a short period of time, under the VWP, to Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands?”
Ja, en ESTA-godkjenning er nødvendig for å reise til disse stedene.

“I’m traveling with a minor (less than 18 years of age) who is a citizen of a country that participates in the VWP?”
Hvis barnet er reiser til USA under VWP som turist i 90 dager eller mindre, han eller hun må søke om en ESTA-godkjenning, separat.

“I’m a US citizen with dual citizenship in a country that participates in the VWP?”
Oss borgere er ikke nødvendig å ha en ESTA-godkjenning og må bruke sine amerikanske pass for å reise til USA.

“I have a valid visa?”
Those who have a valid visa can use it to travel to the United States for the purpose for which it was issued. Those who travel with a valid visa don’t have to apply for an ESTA authorization.
