Paszport i przepisy wjazdowe
ESTA
Większość obywateli Unii Europejskiej może podróżować do USA na wakacje i pobyty do 90 dni bez wizy. Należy zawnioskować o pozwolenie na wjazd ESTA. APlikacja powinna być złożona nie później niż 3 dni przed wylotem. Zatwierdzony wniosek ESTA jest ważny na 2 lata lub do ostatniego dnia ważności paszportu.
Most EU nationals do not need a visa for entry into the US, but an entry permit (ESTA) and a machine-readable e-passport are needed. You must apply for your entry permit at least 72 hours before departure in order to obtain a permit for boarding. It is important that the information in your registration matches the information in your passport. You have to apply and pay for your own entry permit, which is valid for two years following approval. An application costs $ 14. Application for the entry permit ESTA must be done at their official site. You must present your application number at the check-in at the airport.
Make sure to investigate which rues apply for your specific country prior to booking your trip.
E-passport / Biometric passport
From April 1, 2016, in addition to an approved ESTA application, you must have an electronic passport that is valid throughout your stay in the United States. The e-passport is marked with a special symbol on the front and has an embedded electronic chip.
An E-passport is the same as a biometric passport.
