Frequently Asked Questions

An ESTA is not technically a visa. It's an electronic travel authorization that allows citizens of VWP countries to travel to the United States for short stays (90 days max) without needing a traditional visa. For longer stays or other purposes (work, study), a traditional visa is required.
We recommend applying at least 72 hours before your departure. However, with our express service, you can get your ESTA in under 24 hours in most cases. Ideally, apply as soon as you have your travel dates.
If your ESTA is denied, GoVisa will fully refund your service fees. We'll also help you understand the reasons for the denial and guide you toward alternatives, such as applying for a B1/B2 visa at your local U.S. embassy.
Yes! Your ESTA is valid for 2 years from its approval date (or until your passport expires). During this period, you can make as many trips to the United States as you want, as long as each stay doesn't exceed 90 days.
The official CBP website can be confusing and the form is complex. GoVisa offers a simplified form, a review of your application before submission to avoid errors, real-time tracking, and 24/7 customer support. If anything goes wrong, we handle the process for you.
