Hi
Just wondered if there is a way you can check if your ESTA is still valid online? Reason I ask is my sister cannot remember is she did her ESTA or not. Also, I applied online for mine (last month) and it went through fine - later I found my old ESTA and it was still valid so not sure why they issued another one??

The only way of checking/changing it is if you still have your ESTA application number from when you first did it as you have to put it before they will let you access your form. Passport numbers/ DOB are not enough.
You can apply for another one if you can't remember your application number ( I done this last year) it will let you do this regardless if the one you had prevously is still valid.
Alot of people got a new ESTA a few weeks/months ago before the charges came in even though they had one.

Can I ask what the ESTA is? I remember my dad mentioning it briefly when I was planning our holiday....

I think I have mine online, but my fiance doesn't. What's the website to check?

Hope that helps.

We're off in 2weeks, I just wish that they'd stop talking about the epidemic of bedbugs in NYC:eek:

Sorry johnnyroper! It was on radio 2, 4 and 5 aswell as the TV. They even have a site to check if your hotel has them:eek:

There are plenty of tips to check and remember dont put your suitcase on the bed!
