The US ESTA Application Process

Posted on Posted author Darrell Garrett

Looking to Travel to the USA from Greece? Here’s what you need to know, courtesy of https://estavisa.gr

The US ESTA is an electronic authorization that all eligible international visitors are required to obtain before they travel to the United States. If you wish to enter the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, then you need to apply for the ESTA before you travel.

You should apply for the ESTA if:

    1. You are a citizen or national of a country that is a part of the Visa Waiver Program
    2. You do not currently have a visitor’s visa
    3. You will be visiting the United States for a period of 90 days or less
    4. Your trip is for business or pleasure
    5. You are seeking a new authorisation (you do not need to have immediate travel plans to request an ESTA)

You will need to have a valid passport issued by a country that is a part of the Visa Waiver Program in order to apply. There is a fee to make an ESTA application. The fee is currently $14 but may be subject to change. You should apply directly using the official US government website. There are some other third party sites that allow people to make an ESTA application, but these sites are not authorized. They may charge higher fees under the guise of checking your application, but they cannot guarantee that your application will be accepted, and if you run into problems during the application process then having gone through a third party could delay the application.

The government recommends that all applications are made at least 3 days before you are due to travel, but you can apply earlier and it is a good idea to do so. You can also put your application in later, even as close as the same day. Usually, the process takes just minutes to complete and you will have an answer to your application by email almost immediately. It is not guaranteed that you will be answered right away, however, and if there are any issues with your application there may be a delay in it being processed. For this reason, it makes sense to apply as early as possible, especially if you are confident your travel plans are set.

The ESTA is a pre-authorization, and you will still need to clear customs and immigration when you land. All that the ESTA does is clear you for travel to the United States, and there are other vetting processes that will apply once you arrive in the country.…

ESTA Visa – Tips For An Easy Application Process

Posted on Posted author Darrell Garrett

Are you planning to secure an ESTA visa for a future trip to the United States? If so, it’s certainly a good idea to handle the necessary paperwork as soon as possible, so you don’t have any hold-ups that interfere with your trip.

In this guide, we shall draw your attention to a few key things you should understand about the ESTA visa so you aren’t surprised or confused by anything that happens during the process.

To start with, getting hold of the ESTA visa is an incredibly easy and straightforward process, just as long as you follow the system correctly. These days, the entire process is managed online, so if you have access to the Internet, then you shouldn’t have any trouble sending off the application.

Interestingly, research shows that the number one reason why people are refused their ESTA visa is simply that the applicant hasn’t filled out the form correctly. Ultimately, filling out the form correctly is entirely within your control, so if you take your time and make sure to query any questions you have, then you shouldn’t have anything that holds up your trip.

There is a small fee associated with each application which comes to 14 dollars, and it’s important to know that you have to pay this fee for each application you make. Therefore, if you’re traveling with a group of three people, then each person will need to make sure they have the appropriate visa and pay the associated fee.

If you are rejected for any reason, then you should be able to receive a partial refund of around 10 dollars, but there are still four dollars remaining to cover administration fees.

Even though the process may seem somewhat confusing at times, it’s actually fairly straightforward if you follow the guidelines, and most people will receive their approval very quickly indeed. But it is recommended that you apply for the visa around one month before you need it for your visit, to make sure you have time to correct any errors that occur.

It’s nice to know that the visa will actually last a full two years, so you won’t have to repeat the process every single time you enter the United States. If you’re a frequent traveler, then it’s a good idea to pay attention to the expiry date, because you want to make sure that you are entering the United States and leaving within the appropriate time period.

Now that you have read this guide, you should have a better understanding of what the ESTA visa entails.…

How To Organize The Perfect Trip To New York

Posted on Posted author Darrell Garrett

Traveling to New York always appeals. It is one of those destinations that we like in any season of the year, in any company and for any purpose. We do not care about a trip of work, leisure, shopping, with friends, romantic … New York is always worth it. And the best tours are those that are enjoyed from the moment we start planning them, enjoying every little step, everything that teleports us to the city even before the plane takes off … and that helps us learn and live it all with more intensity once in the Big Apple. These are our tips for a perfect trip to New York:

Seven visits that nobody can miss

Let’s start with the essential. In case you visit the city a few days, or if traditional tourism is not your thing, we have condensed the best of the town in ten essential visits that you cannot ignore because they will remain forever in your memory:

Times Square: something tacky, kitsch, crowded … Times Square or you love it or hate it, but there is no doubt that it is the iconic image of the city. To stand in the middle of the bright screens and flip a little is a guarantee that New York will get in your veins.

The Statue of Liberty: Another image that we have been associating with New York all our life is that of Miss Liberty with her torch held aloft. Whether we decide to visit it (along with Ellis Island and its exciting history) or if we see it in the background from the Staten Island ferry, a selfie with it in the background is an absolute must.

Central Park

Posted on Posted author Darrell Garrett

It may be the most beautiful park in the world, with that incredible feeling of being in a lung of nature in the middle of the skyscrapers of a metropolis that never sleeps. Full of unique corners, from Strawberry Fields to the lake, it is well worth dedicating a whole morning.

Fifth Avenue: every avenue in New York has its charm, but the most iconic will always be the Quinta, with its Luxury Shops and a beautiful bustle. Let’s reserve a few hours to tour it entirely, from the Guggenheim to the north, until its layout is lost among the streets of SoHo.

The Empire State Building: there are many buildings in New York that dazzle just by looking at them (the Chrysler, the Flatiron or the new Tower One of the World Trade Center), but the real icon of that New York passion for heights is the Empire. Climbing to its top is essential to enjoy views that take your breath away.

The World Trade Center: the World Trade Center is the memory of one of the most tragic days of contemporary history. And the place has been reconstructed turned into a memorial of that eleven of September that none of us have been able to erase from the collective memory.

The Brooklyn Bridge: a trip to New York is not complete without a visit to Brooklyn. And there is no better way to get closer to the fashionable neighborhood of the city than by crossing its most famous bridge. If we do it in Manhattan and at sunset, the image of the sun against the skyline will never be forgotten.
