Additional Questions Added to ESTA Application
November 4th, 2014 by SRW Lawyers
Effective November 3, 2014, DHS has implemented additional questions to ESTA (used by citizens of Visa Waiver Program Countries to confirm their eligibility to travel under the Visa Waiver Program). Additional questions include (1) Other Names/Aliases or Other Citizenships; (2) Parents name(s); (3) National Identification Number (if applicable); (4) Contact information (email, phone, points of contact); (5) Employment information (if applicable); (6) City of Birth.
Notably, DHS has confirmed that those with valid ESTA do not need to reapply at this time. However, upon the expiration of their current ESTA or upon the expiration of their passport (which requires a new ESTA), they will need to complete the updated form at that time.
