On our site we provide links to sites other than our own solely for the purpose of providing visitors with additional information on our services, or introduce them to sites we recommend.

Every month, we scan our databases and systems and our website in order to maintain compliance with PCI DSS.

FAQ - Häufig gestellte Fragen

Was ist ESTA?

ESTA ist eine englische Abkürzung und bedeutet “Elektronisches System für Reisegenehmigungen”: Es handelt sich um ein Onlineprogramm, dass durch den Zoll, den Grenzschutz und das Ministerium für innere Sicherheit verwaltet wird und mit dem Reisende, die für bis zu 90 Tage im Rahmen des Visa Waiver Programms in die USA reisen möchten, vorab überprüft werden. Sie sollen kein Risiko bezüglich Sicherheit und Strafverfolgung darstellen.
ESTA wurde am 01. August 2008 zur Steigerung der Sicherheit des WVP ins Leben gerufen und ist seit dem 12. Januar 2009 verpflichtend für alle im Rahmen des Visa Waiver Programm Reisenden.

Wie stelle ich einen Antrag?

Auf unserer Website finden sich einfache Anweisungen zur ESTA Antragstellung; beantworten Sie dazu die Fragen in unserem Formular.

Was mache ich mit einer ESTA Genehmigung?

Eine ESTA Genehmigung erlaubt Ihnen, im Rahmen des Visa Waiver Programms zu reisen, garantiert Ihnen jedoch nicht notwendigerweise die Einreise in die Vereinigten Staaten. Die Einreiseerlaubnis bedarf zusätzlich der Überprüfung durch die Beamten von Zoll und Grenzschutz, wenn Sie ankommen, und unterliegt deren Urteil.

Wer ist berechtigt, einen ESTA Antrag zu stellen?

Sie sind berechtigt, einen ESTA Antrag zu stellen, wenn Sie Bürger eines Landes sind, das am Visa Waiver Programm teilnimmt, und in die Vereinigten Staaten mit einem bestätigten Transportunternehmen auf dem Luft- oder Seeweg einreisen möchten.

Jeder Reisende muss im Besitz eines gültigen Reisepasses sein und ein Ticket besitzen, dass die Rückreise zu einem außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten gelegenen Ziel einschließt. Jeder Reisende muss einen Antrag stellen, einschließlich Minderjähriger unter 18, und alle Bedingungen zur Reise im Rahmen des Visa Waiver Programms erfüllen.

Sie müssen nicht darauf warten, dass Ihr Reiseplan bestätigt wird: Sie benötigen keine genauen Informationen zu Reiseverlauf oder Unterkünften, um den Antrag zu stellen.
Eine frühe Antragstellung, die dazu führt, dass Ihre ESTA Genehmigung während Ihres USA-Aufenthaltes abläuft, bringt keine Probleme mit sich: Sie können dennoch wie geplant in Ihr Herkunftsland abreisen.

Lässt ESTA Gruppenanträge zu?

Das Stellen von Gruppenanträgen ist einfach: Nachdem Sie Ihren Antrag gestellt haben, wählen Sie die auf der Dankesseite die Option, einen neuen Antrag zu stellen. Füllen Sie dann den neuen Antrag für den nächsten Antragsteller aus.

Kann ich Fehler im ESTA Antrag korrigieren?

Nur bestimmte Fehler im ESTA Antrag können korrigiert werden: Ihre Email-Adresse, Ihre Telefonnummer und Ihre Reiseinformationen. Sollten sich Fehler in die Informationen zum Reisepass eingeschlichen haben, müssen Sie abbrechen und einen neuen Antrag stellen. Deshalb ist es am besten, wenn Sie den Antrag aufmerksam und genau ausfüllen.

Welche Gültigkeitsdauer hat ein ESTA Antrag?

Eine ESTA Genehmigung ist gültig, bis Ihr Reisepass abläuft oder für zwei Jahre nach Erteilung der Reisegenehmigung, je nachdem, welches Ereignis eher eintritt.

Was passiert, wenn mein ESTA Antrag nicht genehmigt wird?

Wenn Ihr Antrag abgelehnt wird, können Sie über ein Visa Programm dennoch in die Vereinigten Staaten reisen. Beantragen Sie Ihr Visum bei dem nächstgelegenen Konsulat oder der Botschaft der Vereinigten Staaten.

Behält eine ESTA Genehmigung Ihre Gültigkeit für wiederholte Reisen in die Vereinigten Staaten?

Eine gültige ESTA Genehmigung erlaubt Ihnen unbegrenzte Einreisen in die Vereinigten Staaten.

Muss ich einen Neuantrag stellen, wenn ich meine ESTA Genehmigung erhalten habe, bevor im Jahr 2014 zusätzliche Angaben erforderlich wurden?

Wie lang ist die Bearbeitungszeit für einen ESTA Antrag?

In der Mehrzahl der Fälle ist das Ergebnis des ESTA Antrags nahezu sofort einsehbar und Sie erhalten unsere Email mit Informationen zu Ihrem ESTA Status innerhalb von 24 Stunden. Es kann in Ausnahmefällen jedoch bis zu 72 Stunden dauern, bis über einen ESTA Antrag entschieden wird und Sie unsere Email bekommen.

Was mache ich, falls ich meine Antragsnummer vergesse?

Senden Sie einfach einen Antrag über unsere Verifizierung/Überprüfung des ESTA Status Seite und Ihre Antragsnummer wird an die hinterlegte Email-Adresse gesendet.

Kann eine Person den ESTA Antrag für eine andere Person stellen? Kann ich die Anträge für Freunde und Familie stellen oder diese für mich?

ESTA erlaubt die Antragstellung durch Dritte; aber der Reisende bleibt für die Wahrhaftigkeit und Vollständigkeit aller über den ESTA Antrag bereitgestellten Angaben verantwortlich.

Welche ESTA Dokumente sollte ich mitnehmen, wenn ich in die Vereinigten Staaten reise?

Drucken Sie am Reisetag das PDF-Dokument mit Ihrer ESTA Nummer aus und fügen Sie es Ihren Reisedokumenten hinzu. Während die Grenzbeamten der Vereinigten Staaten Ihren ESTA Status elektronisch abfragen können, verlangen die Fluggesellschaften oder Transportunternehmen unter Umständen einen Ausdruck.

Wann sollte ich eine neue ESTA Genehmigung beantragen?

Sie sollten einen Neuantrag stellen, wenn Ihre ESTA Genehmigung abläuft und Sie in die Vereinigten Staaten reisen möchten. Leider ist derzeit keine direkte Verlängerung der ESTA Genehmigung möglich. Beantragen Sie auch eine neue ESTA Genehmigung, wenn:

• Sie Ihren Namen aus irgendeinem Grund ändern;
• Sie einen neuen Reisepass erhalten;
• Sie Ihr Geschlecht ändern;
• Sie Ihre Staatsbürgerschaft ändern;
• Sich andere Umstände ändern, die Ihre ESTA Reisegenehmigung betreffen, seien es rechtliche oder medizinische Umstände.

2) What We Offer

We offer to process and review electronic travel authorization applications for travel to the USA. Please note that our company and website (estausa.com) are privately owned and operated. They are not connected with any government department, agency or bureau. During your online application process you may see notes regarding further information about the travel authorization you are applying for. When you click on the associated button you are understood to be entering into an agreement with our company.

All visitors to our website have the option of lodging their own applications directly on the official government portal without our assistance. The application cost for a US travel authorization is currently USD $ 14,00 charged directly by the US government. We will though not be able to assist with applications that we have not reviewed and processed.

3) Payment for our Products and Services

There is no charge to access our website, view our products/services or ask questions. However, we do charge for verifying, processing and/or reviewing applications. Before you start an ESTA application we will clearly tell you what the cost of our service will be. All individual USA ESTA applications processed are charged at USD $ 83,00 each, which includes tax and the US government mandatory fee of $ 14,00. There are no other fees charged. By completing the steps and clicking on the pay button, you are agreeing to the fee charged by our company.

Payment can only be made by credit card; all major brands are accepted. The cost of the service or product will be charged in U.S. dollars ($).

If you use a credit card in a currency other than U.S. dollars, your credit card provider will convert the price in U.S. dollar into your local currency using their own exchange rate. The charge will show on your statement after 4-8 days. The transaction may also incur additional fees or card-use charges levied by your credit card provider. We have no influence over such additional fees.

4) ESTA Application Processing

It is your sole responsibility to find out whether a visa is required for you to visit another country before you travel. Depending upon your nationality and personal history, you may be eligible to apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) when traveling to the USA. To obtain an ESTA you must provide certain details about yourself, your passport and your reason for visiting the country.

Our website services provide online application forms with all the questions you will need to answer in order to submit an application for ESTA. Part of our specialized service is to review the answers you provide, along with your information, before we process and submit the application on your behalf. If we need any additional information or see anything that may jeopardize your application, we will contact you by email. Please note that any verification of information will delay the processing period.

Once we have ascertained that the information you have provided is valid and complete, we submit your application to the US government department for approval. If for any reason your application cannot be submitted for processing, we will inform you and refund your payment in full.

To receive a response to your ESTA application can take up to 72 hours. However, we advise all travelers to begin the ESTA application process as soon as possible, and at least 7 days before your departure in order to allow time for any unforeseen delays or problems.

5) What Happens if your E-visa or ESTA Application is Denied

If for any reason we are unable to process your application, you can submit another application using a different service provider. Alternatively, you can go directly to the relevant government website and submit an application yourself. The final decision to approve or reject any ESTA or E-visa application lies entirely with each government. If your application is denied, we recommend that you get in touch with the embassy or consulate representing the country you wish to visit and they will advise you of the best way to apply for a standard visa instead. This can take longer than a regular E-visa, so time should be allowed for this possible delay.

In exceptional circumstances, a government may choose to withdraw approval for an Electronic Travel Authorization (E-visa or ESTA) even after it has been approved. In certain situations, they are authorized to change the status from 'Approved' to 'Not authorized to visit with an E-visa'. Even if your application is approved, it is only an authorization to travel. It does not guarantee entry into the country you are intending to visit. The final decision lies with the Customs and Immigration Officer when you arrive at the port of entry. We cannot take any responsibility for any losses incurred if a decision is made to decline or withdraw approval for you to enter a country. We cannot be held liable for any costs or claims resulting from such a decision.

6) Your Responsibilities

It is the sole responsibility of any traveler to comply with all requirements regarding their visit to a foreign country. You are required to answer all questions honestly and fully when making your ESTA or E-visa application. If any information is incorrect, you may not be allowed to board a flight or boat, or you may be refused entry to your intended destination country. In this instance our company cannot be held liable for any subsequent costs or inconveniences.

7) Our Contract

All orders made on our website consist of three mandatory pages with questions and payment information that must be completed by all customers. These actions can only be made by the customer who submits the order him/herself. We accept the offer to process the travel authorization once the complete application and payment are submitted. The order is accepted by us once we dispatch the email with the approved travel authorization. Purchasing our processing service indicates that the Terms and Conditions are accepted. This contract can be concluded in English or the language selected when completing the order.
