» If you are visiting from outside the US
Beginning on January 12, 2009, the US is adding new visa requirements. Visa-waiver countries, most of which are in Europe, will be required to register online and be screened and authorized for entry. The new Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) was ordered by the Department of Homeland Security to identify visitors who might be a threat. Authorization is valid for two years or until a current passport expires. The initial registration can take place any time before the first trip to the US after the system goes into effect.
If you need a travel visa, please allow a minimum of 6 weeks' processing time. For more information, visit: www.travel.state.gov/visa
