USA – Electronic System for Travel Authorisation

estalogo An ‘under construction’ web site for USA bound travellers to register from 1st August 2008 for entry to the USA is up and running.

An accompanying PDF document can be found here.

Interestingly, even if you think log on and get authorisation and actually travel to the USA, you can still be refused entry and have no comeback on anyone as per the waiver that you sign by logging on…

As a condition of each admission into the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, the submission of biometric identifiers (including fingerprints and photographs) during processing upon arrival in the United States shall reaffirm the waiver of any rights to review or appeal of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer’s determination as to admissibility, or to contest, other than on the basis of an application for asylum, any removal action arising from an application for admission under the Visa Waiver Program.

Don’t forget, if you don’t register, you won’t get into the USA.
