Is there a fee to apply for an ESTA?

Yes, there is a fee associated with the Travel Promotion Act of 2009. The fee is comprised of two parts:

  • Processing Fee. All applicants requesting an electronic travel authorization are charged US $4 for the processing of the application.
  • Authorization Fee. If your application is approved and you receive authorization to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, an additional US $17.00 will be added to your payment method. If your electronic travel authorization is denied, you are only charged for the processing of your application.
  • Cost of processing, tracking and support, ESTA submission in different formats $58.

CBP is not responsible for any additional fees that may be charged by your credit/debit card company or PayPal for the transaction.

Before applying, remember to have a photo of your passport, a credit/debit card or your Paypal account available.
