Got a mate who is going to the states for a fortnight next week but isnt sure what visa form she needs to fill out before she goes due to having the old style passport (one without the chip). When I went to vegas a couple of months back I had to fill an online visa acceptance form, submit it, print it out and hand it in at immigration (or checkin, cant remember!).

Does anyone know or have a link to the form she needs to complete?

Cheers
Chris

 

all the info should be on the us immigration service site mate, i forget the site but google usa immigration and itll be there.

 

Been looking on there mate, her passport was produced on Sept 25th 2005 so just before the biometric / digital picture ones, hence hte possible problem!

 

dont matter what passport you have mate, just fill in the online esta form here....

http://www.esta-online.co.uk/

and on the plane you'll be given a green card and a blue customs card to fill in... you hand these in at immigration.

job jobbed.

 

Don't use it!

Applying for ESTA is FREE - the site above is asking for payment. Do not use.

This was mentioned in the news a while back about how people got scammed.

The OFFICIAL website is this

http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/newsroom/la...ws&id=11904951

with a link to the USA Gov website - that's where you should apply.

 

This is the link the travel agents etc give you to use

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/esta.h...3-D1A983C212E9

 

Its not only free on the offcial site but easier, takes less time, and you dont need to print out any forms. You dont need to take any forms with you when you travel either, perhaps thats just what these scam sites tell you to make you feel like you have gone down the official route.

you simply hand your passport over with the i94 form and they scan it. if you haven't completed esta on line form then you wont get in. the esta number links to your passport number.

 

excellent cheers guys, just forwarded to her!!
