Cost of ESTA to rise

[diby5]

Almost three hours for DW and I to get our approval this morning. I'm sure that in light of the news they're seeing an increase in applications and that contributed to it taking longer than other recent ones, but it didn't stop me getting nervous!

Yep 45mins approval, all done and should do us for our 2022 and 2023 trip

Just done mine and my daughter's ESTA ready for our trip in September, took less than an hour to come back approved, I can now tick that off our list of essential travel documentation

I was going to get a new passport before we go in August but I’m now thinking just keep mine till we return and do the Estas today. I wasn’t sure if it would still be valid my issue date is April 2013 so I’m think I will be ok till October this year still using it. Is this correct?

Done our estas today. All approved. Phew.

For the US a UK passport is valid until the end date, no extra months required until some EU countries.

If you are flying indirect you may need 3 months (check your destination)

Oh brilliant thanks 😊 we’re flying direct and I will still have just over 6 months on my passport 👍🏼 I just over think everything

I'm going to do ours tonight. Do I do individual or group for the 2 of us?

[Lell]

Thanks, just done ours

Took 2 hours last night for our estas to be approved.
