ESTA - Electronic System for Travel Authorization

U.S. Department of Homeland Security resp. U.S. Customs and Border Protection připravil videoukázku toho, jak se pracuje s elektronickou náhražkou víz do USA. Video je v angličtině.

ČR se stala členy tzv. Visa Waiver Programu (VWP), s platností od 17. listopadu 2008. Více informací na http://www.cbp.gov/esta nebo na stránkách Amerického velvyslanectví v Praze - http://czech.prague.usembassy.gov/.

Po 12. lednu 2009 bude ESTA vyžadována po všech cestujících ze států s VWP. Před letem do USA vyplňte (lze i v zastoupení) elektronický formulář na https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/. Žádat lze kdykoliv před cestou a odpověď je prakticky okamžitá.

ESTA platí 2 roky nebo do expirace cestovního pasu, podle toho, co nastane dříve.

This is the biggest BS I have ever seen. I want every US traveler to fill out a form for customs in German, French, or Spanish depending on the country they wanna go to. Also, dont forget this electronic form and a fee of 50 Euros. Lets not forget a green or white visa waiver. Let US travelers stand in line for hours and refuse them entry if they havent filled the blanks in right. I would also have them make finger prints and show us medical records before entering our beloved Europe.

@playerjake12 They are in advantage, they can do stuff like this and still have a lot of visitors, because there is probably (in general) no more interresting country than USA. EU has to be united to be a good competitor, but it will never be.

@chilli6 for sure brother. Fuck them.

I apologise for the fact that the US Government is expecting people to be competent to fill in simple online forms. My understanding is that ESTA is modelled on Australia's ETA system, which seems to assume computer literacy among all its visitors as well.
