New Guide Discussion: Everyone needs ESTA for US travel

luci

I believe the ESTA only has to be valid on the date you enter the US so you should be OK. Check the ESTA website as there are FAQ's on there.

Hey guys, has anyone else received a 'your ESTA is about to expire!' email? It has the date I got it, but we were all told they last for two years, whereas this is only five months. It must be a scam, but how did the scammer know the date I applied? It was formatted better than the copy below and the link came out cos of MSE rules.

ATTENTION! The travel authorization submitted on September 7, 2010 via ESTA
will expire within the next 30 days. It is not possible to extend or renew a
current ESTA. You will need to apply for a new ESTA. Please reapply at
[dhs dot gov correct-looking url] if travel to the United States is intended in the near
future. If there are 30 or more days left on the old authorization you will
receive a warning message during the application and be asked if you wish
to proceed.

I applied for and used my ESTA last year for a trip to Florida. I will be returning to the US in March for a vacation. Do I need to change my destination address details on my original ESTA?

No..........

It says that you can only pay using mastercard, amex or visa - I don't have a credit card, how am I supposed to pay for it?

luci

If you have a debit car you can use that. They use the term "credit card" to mean both credit and debit cards.

Martin suggests that we pay esta with clarity. But no mention of santander zero. Is it not foreign exchange fee free anymore? Anyone knows?
