Travellers using an appropriate valid US visa do not need ESTA. US citizens and permanent residents need another entry document. Existing ESTA covering the trip does not need repurchasing. We screen restricted travel and nationality history and potentially disqualifying answers before payment.
Restrictions need separate review
Presence in North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria or Yemen on or after 1 March 2011, or Cuba on or after 12 January 2021, generally prevents VWP use. Dual nationality of Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Sudan or Syria also matters. Limited official exceptions require separate review; never change an answer to pass screening.
