Danish Passport Holders and ESTA
After January 12, 2009, all Danish citizens entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) are required to apply for ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Travel Authorization is required. It is not an actual U.S. visa. The ESTA requirement applies to travelers entering the United States by air or sea under the Visa Waiver Program. Applicants must also have a valid machine-readable passport. Danish travelers without an approved ESTA Travel Authorization or a valid U.S. Visitor Visa will be denied boarding on all U.S. -bound flights. The U.S. government recommends that all Danish applicants apply at least 72 hours prior to travel to the United States.
What is ESTA?
How long does it take to apply for ESTA?
The ESTA online application form takes 10-15 minutes to complete. Upon submitting your application, your travel details will be reviewed by a professional ESTA service provider and then submitted for processing on the official US government website. Anyone who is refused a travel authorization must apply for a United States visitor visa (B-1 Business or a B-2 Tourist visa).
Who needs to apply for ESTA?
Any Danish citizen who wants to enter or transit through the United States (by air or sea) under the visa waiver program is required to apply for ESTA. It is not possible to submit one application for many travelers or a family. Each traveler must have their own approved application, including babies and infants.
What is the visa waiver program?
The visa waiver program is a U.S. government program that enables citizens and
nationals from all member countries (including Denmark) to enter the United States for business or visitor purposes for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa. The advantage of entering the United States under the visa waiver program is that you can travel to the United States on short notice without first going through the visa application process, which can take weeks or months to complete. Contrary to the visa process, the online application is usually
completed in less than 15 minutes.
