Well today my new passport arrived and I was able to do my ESTA. My old passport was due to expire in July and last time I took advantage of the 6 month early rule and renewed in January but of course that’s gone. Despite that I still felt I should renew now as I’d also have to do a new ESTA and I really didn’t want to leave all that too late. It was niggling me that I had flights booked without a valid ESTA 😱. Anyway, passport arrived today 8 days from applying which was great and ESTA is approved and printed! Another thing off the list!
