We were there in June last year and seemed to get through Customs much quicker with the ESTA than two years earlier without it.

The shopping is great when the sales are on which will be after Xmas. Try and get to the outlet shops if you can.

They ask these questions so they can get your signature saying you denied it. If they prove a link they can get you on falsifying documents as having a family member participate in genocide is not illegal. Not declaring it by falsifying documents is. We do it in HR all the time. ]]> Thu, 12 Aug 2010 08:57:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1124302&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1124302 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1124069&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1124069 Author: luvmylittlies

We can barely afford the tickets for that time of year, but ooooh, if the shopping is that good then the credit card might get a work out.]]> Wed, 11 Aug 2010 19:51:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1124069&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1124069 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1124002&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1124002 Author: kiwi2

When we were getting work visas for there my husband had done a project on aviation and defense. They asked him if he had any connections to known terrorists and if he had particpated in terriorist activities. Why bother do you think a terrorist is honest enough to say yes and blow their cover and mission. Hope you have an awesome holiday. Take empty suitcases and shop. You can get cheap osh kosh from target over there and mossimo too. Everything is cheap actually. And you get twice the baggage allowance too. ]]> Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:31:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1124002&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1124002 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1123926&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1123926 Author: luvmylittlies

Thanks guys. That's what I thought but my brain kept melting every time I tried to read through the explanation on their website. I find it a bit amusing though that they claim you don't need a "visa" when you have to do this application - which seems pretty much like getting a visa to me.

Do they still have that question about genocide on the entry form "have you or any of your family participated in genocide?" Do they REALLY think someone is going to tick "yes" to that one?]]> Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:59:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1123926&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1123926 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1123739&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1123739 Author: JoJames

You have to make sure you fill out the form a few days in advance, but you can do it online so its super easy.

You also have to make sure you have a machine readable passport. All the new ones are, but would pay to check depending how old yours are ]]> Wed, 11 Aug 2010 13:02:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1123729&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1123729 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1123589&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1123589 Author: tishy

We went to USA in May last year so things might have changed but hope this helps.
If you book through a travel agent they'll give you the info so you can apply online or you can do a search for ETSA or visa waiver. You have to fill in a visa waiver form which is pretty simple, and we got a reply immediately saying there isnt any problems and you have a visa waiver. You'll get allocated a number that you have to give the checkin people when you check in.
You still have to fill in the green form on the plane which then goes in your passport at customs.

You have to fill out the ETSA for all travellers before you go. This is instead of filling out the form on the plane I believe.

It looks like we're headed off to America at Christmas to be with family. Has anyone traveled there recently. I know we're a in a visa wavered program country but what's this ESTA thing the website goes on about? Honestly, that website is so full of jargon I fall asleep after the first sentence.]]> Tue, 10 Aug 2010 23:10:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35192&PID=1123402&title=requirements-for-usa-travel#1123402
