About this app

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.

Warning! Don't bother with this app for baby or toddler! The app itself is very well designed but clearly wasn't tested with small children. It requires a *video selfie" of the applicant that has to be perfectly centered and at two specific distances and is very sensitive to small movements. All but impossible with a small child and I was tearing my hair out until I found out on reddit that the online form doesn't even require this, only the app. Wish I'd known sooner!

nice for automatically loading passport details, but please test the usability for baby applications. trying to get the 3d face scan while using the selfie camera is a nightmare, would be so much easier if we could use the main camera for babies. UPDATE: actually there's a bug in how it takes the photo. with perfect light conditions and a perfectly crisp view in the viewfinder, all face scans get rejected for being too blurry and look awful in the preview. must be an error in the camera API

Feels silly to say this but when applying phone numbers, you have to remove that first number that the area code rules over ( a +44 over a UK 0 for example), this applies to work numbers as well! Aside that and maybe understanding that card numbers are often copied and pasted from bank apps with spaces between each 4th number (so you have to remove the slaves to fit in your cars number) the apps really great! So much easier than when I had to do it online years ago!
