If you want to visit the US for a brief period, either for business or pleasure, you may qualify for travel authorization under the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) program. Citizens of 38 countries who have valid e-passports are eligible to travel to the US with an ESTA. You can apply for an ESTA quickly and easily by visiting the official website of US Customs and Border Control (CBP). However, keep in mind that having an ESTA doesn't guarantee you'll be allowed to enter the US.
