ESTA Online System To Accept Multiple Applications Within One Transaction

Posted on August 10, 2012

Share this:

US Customs and Border Protection announced this week that the Electronic
System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) website has been updated to
allow for the submission of multiple applications which are paid for in
one transaction. This new online application will be available on
Wednesday, August 15.

Applicants using the ESTA system enter biographical data and an email
address to create a Group ID; that ID then enables a family or other
group to input up to 50 ESTA applications and complete the application
with a single credit card payment transaction. This change delivers
greater efficiency to families and other groups utilizing the online
system to apply for travel authorization.

ESTA is an electronic travel authorization required for all nationals of
Visa Waiver Program countries prior to boarding a carrier to travel by
air or sea to the U.S. under that visa program.
