Page 1 of Travelling to US in next 2 years? Read This

The yanks are starting to charge £10 from sept i believe for electronically approving travel to the USA, if you apply before then its free and lasts for 2 years so if ur even considering travel there then fill it in now, u dont need to put in details like where ur travelling from and to etc as u can change this when u decide.

IN MADNESS YOU DWELL

Heard as well if your passport runs out you`ll have to re-apply. Sent for a replacement passport today so hoping I`ll get it back in time.

Moneysavingingexpert.com said an Esta lasts for two years, or until a person`s passport expires, whichever is sooner.

Well I`ve been over here since Wednesday and it`s not in yet but you will still get finger printed (both hands) and smile for the cameras.
You`ll also get finger printed on your first park entry.

Yeah they did us at the parks as well last year - its so you don`t pass on your tickets to anyone else. They say its security lol

I go in September and got mine yesterday- £5 for two years.

Not bad really when you think places like Turkey insist on a tenner being inside your passport as you go into the country!

They are "justifying" this security measure as a tourism promotion tax, but we all know where the US is & what it has.




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Never has so little had to be explained by me to so many so often.

As for geting fingerprinted to get into Disney World, you have been Mickey Moused. Crazy Patriot Act World more like it !

Crazy Patriot Act World more like it !No thats when your at Sea Worlds Shamu show and they get all members of the armed forces from the USA and allies to stand for a round of applause.

BTW: For anyone coming if you`ve seen the killer whale show before don`t bother now. Yes you get to see the whales jumping about and splashing folk but since the fatality there is now zero `in water` interaction between whales and humans.

So is this for entry to the country, or when you land at the airport? Does it apply if you are catching a connecting flight to somewhere else?

Trying to get into `terror struck` USA now, the official way is hopeless, better to enter via the mexican desert tours with all the other illegal imigrants, and there is no red tape to worry about :D

PS... DISCLAIMER ... If you get shot dead going that route, there is no refund.
