Length of an ESTA?

Mole83 · 18 Jul 20, 10:21 AM

can anyone clarify something for me please?

We got our estas in April 19 for our holiday that summer and on the basis that we were going NY in Feb21 (hopefully) and that esta would cover both trips.

I've just got an email to say my esta I got in April19 will expire in 30day! Do they no longer last 2 years?

Just wondering if the passport is due for renewal?

Thay last two years from the day you applied, if you get an email like that before it runs out it is usally due to a passport running out

An ESTA is valid for two years, or until the date your passport expires, whichever is earlier.

1 of the kids may expire actually, but does that mean all the estas expire even if ours don't expire?

No just the expiring passport ESTA needs to be renewed.

It is only the one for the passport that is expiring that runs out, ESTA�s are always individual even when done as a group.
