Privacy Policy

ESTA.ie provides information about the US Visa Waiver program and the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) and is a privately owned website. Esta.ie has no relationship with any government, embassy, or consulate and does not speak on behalf of any government, embassy, or consulate.

Visitors to this website wishing to travel to the United States can use the information provided on the ESTA program and steps for obtaining authorization to either fill out their own application directly on ESTA’s official government portal or seek assistance for their application through a third-party processing provider.

Filling out a direct application and working with a private company to apply for ESTA has many advantages. A third-party processing provider will charge a small fee for their services, but can offer you review of your travel information by an ESTA specialist, correct submission of your application the first time around, and 24/7 customer service.
