I have requested the ESTA, how long does it take to process?

Once you have applied for an ESTA to USA, it is natural to want to know how long it will take for your application to be processed and approved. We are proud to report that more than 90% of submitted applications are approved within the indicated deadlines reflecting our commitment to efficiency and speed in visa processing.

The processing time for the ESTA may vary depending on several factors, such as the type of visa requested and the accuracy of the information provided.

Tips:

1. Apply in advance:

• Although the minimum processing time can be as little as 5 business days for certain visas, we strongly recommend applying for your ESTA at least 15 days prior to your travel. This will give you enough time for any unexpected delays and allow you to plan your trip more safely.

2. Verify the accuracy of your information:

• Ensure that all information provided in your application is accurate and complete. Errors or incomplete information can delay the processing of your ESTA or result in the denial of your application.

3. Prepare and upload the correct documents:

• Check that all required documents, such as the scanned copy of your passport and recent photograph, meet the specified requirements. Low-quality documents or those that do not meet the standards can cause delays. 

4. Contact support if necessary:

• If your application takes longer than expected or if you have questions about the process, do not hesitate to contact the support team. They can provide you with additional information and help resolve any issues that may arise.
  
  

In summary, while most ESTA applications for USA are processed quickly, we recommend applying well in advance to ensure a hassle-free travel experience. By following these tips and preparing everything properly, you can expect efficient processing and focus on enjoying your trip to USA.
