Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)
All Visa Waiver Program (VWP) travelers are now required to obtain a travel authorization via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to traveling to the U.S. under the VWP. 

Log onto the ESTA Web site at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov and complete an on-line application.  Travelers are encouraged to apply as soon as travel is planned.  The web-based system will prompt you to answer basic biographical and eligibility questions typically requested on a paper I-94W form.  The Web site is translated into multiple languages, however all answers must be submitted in English.
