Visa Waiver Program Published March 9, 2009 Retiree Activity Office RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Will you be visiting the U.S. and Travelling on the VISA Waiver program? This program allows those non U.S. passport holders and those without a US visa in their passport, to travel to the U.S. with a round trip travel ticket, entrance to the US for a maximum of 90 days. You must now also send an Electronic System for Travel Authorization application at least 72 Hours prior to your travel, this application may only be accomplished via the Internet at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ . The form is easy to fill out and is good for two years, it can be amended easily to accommodate new travel arrangements the system operates via ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Beware, there is a company called ESTA.co.uk. They will help you fill out the form and submit it for you; they charge a lot of money for that service. Using the dhs.gov website (Department of Homeland Security) as above is free, your travel agent should be able to do this for you as well.
