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.

Fix to address scanning issue with some recently issued passports
Ratings and Reviews
Unable to complete application
App and also mobile version of webpage are very buggy. After waiting over 5 minutes to upload my passport photo I gave up and tried on my laptop instead which worked instantly. Also had difficulty scanning my passport using the app (would not even detect it). Judging by the other reviews it seem that this has been an issue for quite some time… disappointing that it is still not fixed.
Stole my debit card details
I don’t if the app is leaked?? But as soon as I entered and paid for my esta, I noticed an unknown transaction in my bank app. Someone used my debit card to pay for a Lyft in the states for $50 (I don’t live in the states). I cancelled my card immediately but was told by my bank they tried to use my card several times after I did. Dodgy app !!!!
Waste of time
This isn’t really an app, it’s just a web interface. Doesn’t allow you to save your travel authority - only search for it. Or apply for one, but you’re better to do that on the web.
