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.

not a great app design. lots of different approval ticks you have to make. very time consuming and the kind of questions you need to answer. puts go off flying via the US, the greatest county in the world according to them. last bit, had issues with PayPal but at the same time could not go back to pay with credit card. and starting a new application was also not possible. so you are left in the dark how long it could possibly take before you can lock back in and continue paying the outstanding.

I read it would take 23 minutes to complete and I believe it has probably taken close to or more than an hour. It seemed quite simple to start but during it stalled and I had to reenter information and the checking and verification stage did not show the confirm button for each section so I went back/forth unable to save and complete the form. unclear where to put postcode for home address and employer address. lastly payment was denied. Not a happy bunny!

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!
