Description
The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) app from U.S. Customs and Border Protection allows Nationals of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries to apply and pay for a travel authorization without a visa. The ESTA app is a mobile version of the ESTA application process and information that can also be found on the ESTA website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov.
The ESTA app currently has two features available: Apply for New Individual Application and Search for Existing Application.
• The “GET STARTED” feature allows travelers to create a new ESTA application, pay for the ESTA and submit the application to be processed by the system to determine if they are eligible to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program without a visa. The system will provide the traveler with an automated response.
• The “FIND IT” feature allows travelers to check the status of their existing ESTA application..
CBP recommends that you apply for ESTA at the time you book your travel, but no less than 72 hours prior to boarding.

Ratings and Reviews
Happy experience
The app is very useful and it was quick to submit the application and get the result back. In the the second scan process all you need to do is resting the camera on the passport (camera lenses facing the passport and the phone screen facing up). While the phone is rested on the passport, slowly drag the phone toward yourself and it will scan and read the cover magically.
Overall ok, could be improved
It was easy enough to complete the information required, however allowing the user to type where the drop down menus are would save time scrolling through all the different options on the drop down menus, which there are a lot of. It could also pre populate duplicate information requirements.
During payment it doesn’t allow Apple Pay, by the time I had got my card out it wouldn’t allow me to pay which resulted in me waiting until the next day to complete the payment process. I appreciate I should have had my card to hand but most apps allow Apple Pay or auto populates card information.
Really easy to use
Definitely easier to use than the website, which was very slow and I had a hard time trying to upload documents. This is the best way to get your ESTA.
