ESTA: Electronic System for Travel Authorization

Are you planning a trip from the UK to the US anytime soon? The process of applying for and receiving a visa can be extremely stressful and overwhelming at times. This is especially true if you're planning a short trip for business or holiday reasons. Many people end up asking if it's even worth it. Fortunately, if you're planning on going to the US for 90 days or less, you don't have to worry about this - thanks to ESTA - the Electronic System for Travel Authorization under the US Visa Waiver Program. As long as you meet the requirements and provide all the necessary information, you should have no problem getting into the US without a visa for your trip.
