US visa

• After the interview, the visa takes 3 days, but in exceptional cases it may take longer.
• Interviews can only be booked for people with an Estonian residence permit.
• For the interview you will need any documents that show strong ties to your home country (a certificate from your employer, a bank statement, a marriage certificate, a child's birth certificate or any other suitable documents).
• Part of the interview is fingerprinting; usually a quick digital fingerprint scan is done during the interview.
• You are told whether the visa is refused or granted right after the interview.

Requirements for applying without an interview on the basis of a previous US visa, if no more than 48 months have passed since your US visa expired:

• You can apply for a visa without an interview if you have had a US visa before.
• Your previous visa must have been issued when you were 14 or older, and your fingerprints must have been taken at your previous interview.
• You are a citizen or resident of Estonia.
• You are in Estonia.
• You are applying for a visa in the same category as the previous one.
• If your previous visa was marked "clearance received", you cannot apply without an interview.
• You cannot use the no-interview service if you have lost your previous passport containing a still valid or expired US visa.

• Hotel bookings in the USA at better prices than on websites.
• Flight bookings to the USA.

The Visa Waiver Program allows citizens of Estonia to visit the USA for tourism and business (that is, only for purposes allowed on a visitor visa) for up to 90 days without a visa. People entering under the Visa Waiver Program must get an authorisation through ESTA. Their passports are scanned automatically on arrival in the USA, and the data is entered into the OBIM program of the Department of Homeland Security.

ESTA costs 60 euros.

What the agency's service includes

• Filling in the electronic application.
• Paying the fee with the agency's credit card.
• Saving the client's time.

• People who have travelled to or been in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and/or Yemen on or after 1 March 2011 lose the right to travel to or enter the USA under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). This restriction does not apply to Visa Waiver Program participants who were in any of these countries while serving in the armed forces of a Visa Waiver Program country, or while carrying out official duties as a full-time employee of the government of a Visa Waiver Program country.
• People who have been arrested, even if this did not lead to a criminal penalty; people who have had criminal cases opened against them (even if they were pardoned or amnestied).
• People with serious infectious diseases.
• People who have been refused entry or deported from the USA for staying longer than the Visa Waiver Program allows.
• People who plan to study, work or stay in the USA for more than 90 days, and people who intend to change their status (from a tourist trip to a student one, etc.) after arriving in the USA. These people must get a visa. If an immigration officer believes that a person entering without a visa intends to study, work or stay in the USA for more than 90 days, they will not be allowed in.
• People who have not received an ESTA authorisation may not enter under the Visa Waiver Program. They must apply for a visa before the trip.

Having a US visa or an ESTA authorisation does not guarantee entry into the USA; it gives a foreign national the right to arrive at a US port of entry and ask for permission to enter. Officers of the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection may allow or refuse entry into the USA. They also decide how long the traveller may stay. If entry into the USA is allowed, the Customs and Border Protection officer at the port of entry will set the permitted length of stay.
