What is the Visa Waiver Program - ESTA



ESTA scams: how to avoid them!

We receive many questions on how to apply for and obtain the ESTA, but unfortunately often is already too late when we answer because many have already ventured into the wrong web-sites and have already made unnecessary payments.

How much the ESTA cost ?

The Visa Waiver Program is the system that allows you to travel without a visa; you simply go online on the official website of the US Government to apply for the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization).

ou will enter all the requested information in an easy Form (i.e. first and last name, DOB, passport number etc.). At the end of the application to submit your request, the system asks you for a payment by credit card of $14 per person. That's it.

You will receive your ESTA results almost instantly, or might take up to 24/48 hours depending on the system, and if your ESTA should be denied, you would only pay $4 and $10 would be refunded to your credit-card.

Important: Do not use any other web-site other than the Official Government one for the ESTA application

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!

I’m the biggest fan of Fall activities, but haven’t had a chance to do anything beyond Apple Picking in NJ. I decided to take a last minute 2 day trip with a friend in Hudson Valley, but didn’t know where to start [...] Thankfully I was able to use New York Welcome to do the hard work for us [...]
