• Through this app, eligible travelers can apply for and pay for a travel authorization to visit the United States without obtaining a traditional visa.

• This mobile platform mirrors the functionality and information available on the official ESTA website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov, providing users with a streamlined, portable option for managing their travel authorization needs.
