Are ESTAs still being authorised?
We are due to travel 30th July for 16 nights onsite with free DDP. So far only paid deposit (£875) with balance of over £12,000 due next week. We are in the same dilemma as a lot of people. We are booked with Ever After holidays whom I trust to refund us once it's cancelled ( as I expect it will be).
Still undecided whether to pay the balance or just forfeit the deposit. We haven't renewed our ESTAs yet and wouldn't consider paying a balance until they were done, but are they even authorising at the minute with the travel ban? Has anyone applied for one recently?

I can't help at all I'm afraid on paying balances. We book everything separately and were due to fly next Tuesday.
However I was involved in an exchange of posts about a week ago with someone who successfully applied for new ESTAs. The warning on the ESTA site is only about attempting to travel under the current rules. Mick

The only extra item I recall is receiving a PIN code to enter just after starting the application.

We've had live ESTAs since they were introduced in Jan 2009 and, a bit like you, due for renewal next month.
I don't know what new questions there are, if any, but according to Dibbers you have to start with sending an email to which they respond with a code to use to prove you're not a robot. Mick

At the risk of sounding patronising I'll just say what I've said on here a hundred times over the years
Take your time, do it with someone alongside if you can, double check the question, triple check the answers. It's not a race and don't expect instant approval these days Mick

There were no new questions at all, just a PIN sent to authorise email.
