Travel to the USA
Beginning January 12, 2009, all nationals and citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries, including Australia, will need authorization to travel to the United States prior to boarding a U.S.-bound airplane or cruise ship. This authorization must be obtained online through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). ESTA is a fully automated, electronic system for screening passengers before they begin to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Programme. ESTA is an approval process and not a visa. Applications can be submitted at any time prior to travel to the United States, preferably on commencement of travel arrangements, but no later than 3 days prior to travel. Travellers who have not been approved will not be able to enter the United States. There is no charge to complete the application, which can be completed at any time in advance of travel. Once approved, it is valid for two years. Travel Agents are not permitted to complete the application form on behalf of the traveller and QBT will therefore direct your travellers to the official US Government website and application form: Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) online application form Australians who are travelling for specific purposes like work or study may still need to obtain a visa. For more information, please go to the US Embassy, Canberra. Here is your link: The QANTAS website also has information and a link to the ESTA process.
