NOTICE FOR FOREIGNERS TRAVELLING TO THE USA

As of January 12, 2009, all citizens of VWP (Visa Waiver Programme) countries who plan to travel to the United States for business or tourism using the VWP must pre-register with the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (“ESTA”) programme and receive an electronic travel authorization prior to boarding a U.S.-bound airplane or cruise ship. (The requirement will not affect U.S. citizens travelling overseas.) ESTA applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel, although it is recommended that the VWP traveller apply for ESTA travel authorization at least 72 hours before departing for the United States. VWP travellers may apply for ESTA authorization at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov. Once approved, ESTA travel authorizations

will be valid for multiple entries for up to two years or until the applicant’s passport expires, whichever occurs first. Please take note of this new requirement, as failure to register with ESTA will result in travel delays.
