Private ESTA Application Assistance for Travel to the USA

Q: Is this the official ESTA website?

No. This is a private assistance service with no connection to the U.S. Government. The official application site is esta.cbp.dhs.gov, where travelers can apply for the government fee only.

We are an independent service that helps travelers prepare, review, and submit their Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) application to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. One flat, clearly listed price covers form assistance, error review, status tracking, and email support.

What Our Service Includes

Everything below is covered by a single service fee, shown together with the government fee before you pay. No tiers, no upsells, no charges added later.

Guided Application

A step-by-step form collects your passport and travel details, with plain-language help for every question.

Error Review

We check for the mistakes that most often cause delays — passport number format, date mismatches, and missing fields — before anything is submitted.

Status Tracking

Track your application on this site any time, and receive an email as soon as a decision is returned.

Email Support

Real answers to questions about your application, your status, or how the process works — by email, typically within one business day.

One Transparent Price

The government fee and our service fee are both itemized on the application page before payment. What you see is what you pay.

Honest Processing

Every ESTA goes through the same government queue. We don't sell "rush processing," because no third party can speed up CBP's decision.

Review the itemized total — government fee plus our service fee — and pay once.

We review your answers and submit the ESTA application to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is required for citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries travelling to the United States by air or sea for tourism, business, or transit for stays of up to 90 days. It is not a visa; travelers who need a visa must apply through a U.S. embassy or consulate.

Most applications receive a decision from CBP within 72 hours, and many much sooner. CBP recommends applying at least 72 hours before departure. No service — including ours — can accelerate the government's decision.

An approved ESTA is generally valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first, and allows multiple trips of up to 90 days each.

You pay the U.S. government's ESTA fee plus our flat service fee. Both amounts are itemized on the application page before you pay, and nothing is added afterwards. If CBP denies your application, our refund policy applies to the service fee — see the Refund Policy.
