The US Government has recently announced that as from 09 September 2010 a $14.00 per person charge will be levied for all ESTA applications.
The ESTA is a compulsory internet form that must be completed prior to travel on the US Visa Waiver entry scheme.
Currently the ESTA is free of charge, and is valid for a period of 2 years from the date of issue. NO travel arrangements need to have been made in order to apply for the ESTA.
Therefore if you are travelling or even thinking of doing so to the US (including US islands in the Caribbean, Hawaii or Alaska) in the next two years, my advice is you complete your ESTA on line now.
To do this go to https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta
TIP: Once completed, print off the confirmation page with the long reference number on it to keep for your records to update it when you need to. Remember one per person is required.
