You have to apply for an ESTA to go to USA you now have to pay it used to be free.
But ESTA approval doesn't guarantee you entry
It's important to understand that successfully applying for ESTA doesn't mean you're automatically allowed to enter the USA, it just establishes that you're 'eligible to travel'.

Only a US Customs and Border Protection officer at the point of entry can decide whether you're actually allowed in or not, and may decide, afterall, that you don't fit the VWP criteria. It's completely at their discretion.

Yet although this sounds scary there are very few horror stories of being denied entry (unless you failed to declare a criminal record), especially since the ESTA was introduced.

Pay the $14 fee with the right plastic
ESTA applications have a $14 fee attached to them - that's a hefty $56 for a family of four.


Four dollars covers the ESTA administration and, rather bizarrely, $10 goes to a fund to promote US tourism – ironic as perhaps a better way would be not to charge people to enter the country.

Do note this isn’t a visa charge for entry, it’s a charge for getting permission to attempt to enter the country, and most US visitors to the UK don’t have to pay anything.

Avoid foreign exchange card fees
The system only accepts payment via MasterCard, Visa and American Express. If your ESTA's rejected, you'll still be charged $4 (the admin fee) for applying.

Stray, Being Drunk and Disorderlyand singing in public places may put your application in jeapardy.PMSL.:o)>.**M**.

Also.........

ESTA only lasts for 2yrs for multiple entry's.

Just come back ...


Julie enjoy it ......as I'm sure you will.


Marilyn.

Thanks Stray

it took us a while to save.....using what i saved on ciggies as i packed up 4 years in March.....Wonder if we would have been there at the same time had you gone, we could of had a mini meet lol...xx


Thanks Marilyn...not sure who is more excited me or my children :o))

that would hav been funny live in same country but meeting in florida lol, x

I think its a visa you fill in on the plane.If you get that wrong you are refused entry so please read this form carefully. Also as soon as we arrived it was very frightening to see police with guns and pointing to people as to where to go. I went in May time and although not warm here it was 40% there.Take a change of clothing when you get off the plane.Be careful of the Toll roads lol we went through the same toll road 3 times. We stayed on International Drive but it took us 5 hours to find it on the Toll Road lol annie

LOL Stray....that would have been funny x

Annie

They did away with filling the visa on the plane back in November.

LOL at you going through the Toll..hopefully i can get hold of a sat nav
