OT: Reminder. $14 ESTA charge from 8th Sept 2010

So if you're planning to make any trips within the next two years or just want to 'refresh' your clearance, make sure you do it soon!

BTW. $4 of the fee is going towards admin costs and $10 will go towards 'promoting tourism'... which I take to mean saving California.

Bump / thanks for the reminder - now done. Haven't been to the US for nearly 20 years so it must be about time I did!!

A question on ESTA. Once I've made my assumption (and forgotten to print it, thinking I'd get an email confirmation), how can I check the other details I entered such as nationality and place of residence? The "update" option only relates to future journeys.

Anyone got a quick link to the ESTA official (currently free) website where I can submit a new form?

I thought we had till the end of September so thanks for the reminder. ^

No immediate plans on visiting the USA but it's worth applying anyway.

Regrettably, our current passports expire before our current ESTA ... so we will have to re-apply [and pay] next year anyway. However, I think the Domestic Accounts will cope with $14 x 2.

Updated mine online but that didn't bump the expiration. Should I do a whole new one instead updating the details of the previous one?

Bump! Unfortunately in vain though as the ESTA site is broken. I wonder why?

It is sort of working, took a few attempts at each stage but managed to get mine done this evening.

I searched for this thread as I wasn't exactly sure when I applied for my current now expired ESTA. Those like myself who obtained their free ESTA during the closing hours of 7 September 2010, a new ESTA is needed for the next visit to the US.

Doesn't time fly?
