Aware of that . More sense if the wrote, 'please type or write your answers'

PRINT means write it in BLOCK CAPITALS, write could mean in joined up handwriting which wouldn't be acceptable.

Point 10. Is it England or U.K.?

Point 13. If you support current charity, and put that down, they may resume and are linked to such and such religion (stereotype him as a terrorist) and not grant visa? or is it best to leave blank?

18. Ticked no. or best to plan something?

Thank you

What do you think? Do you have an english passport, or a UK one.

It's an UK passport, which of course is an English one.

So Scottish and Welsh people have English passports?

It's a UK passport; there are no English ones.

No they don't email you. A couple of mins after completing the ESTA you get a message on the screen whether you are approved or not.

It's a good idea to print it out once you are finished as the reference number is quite long and complicated with a mixture of numbers and letters.

It is valid for 2 years and you may want to go back and change flight and accommodation details even though these details are not compulsory.

Oh dear I didn't see a message on the screen, does that mean it maybe hasn't gone through?

luci

Quite possibly. I would apply again to make sure. The second application will cancel the first one.

IIRC it looks like you are finished, but there is a final screen to click to and it definitely tells you if you are approved or not.

Make sure you print it off at the end or at the very least, take a note of the number in case you need to amend it in future.

Once completed does the form turn into a PDF document, so I can take the document to another PC where there is a printer, is this possible?

Thank you

luci

No it doesn't. I would complete it at the pc that has a printer attached. Just make sure you have your passport, flight and accommodation details to hand. You need the full address and zip code, not just the hotel name.

Thankyou I reapplied and got it this time.
It did actually turn into a PDF doc at the end as well.
And there isn't a space for zip code.
