ESTA

The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is an automatic program created to gauge the risk factor of travelers to the united states. Once approves by the system you will be granted a short term Travel Waiver allowing you to stay in the USA for a 90 day period. Once your 90 day period is up you will need to return to your home country and can visit again until the travel waiver ecpires in 2 years time. After it expires you will be required to apply again for approval. This is an alternative to obtaining a visa which is much more time consuming and nuanced.
