Important Travel Information for International Attendees
Electronic System for Travel Authorization
(ESTA)
A valid ESTA approval is required for all visitors traveling to
the United States
from Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries (e.g. most countries in Europe,
Japan,
Australia, etc.) The US
Department of Homeland Security, Electronic System for Travel
Authorization (ESTA) is a free, automated system used to determine the
eligibility of visitors to travel to the United
States under the VWP. It collects the
same information as the paper I-94W form that VWP travelers fill out en
route to the United
States. ESTA applications may be
submitted at any time prior to travel. An ESTA authorization generally
will be valid for up to two years. Authorizations will be valid for
multiple entries into the United States. DHS recommends
that travelers submit an ESTA application as soon as they begin making
travel plans. Please visit http://cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta/
