ESTA Travel Registration Is Easy…and Free!

June 6, 2009

Czechs travelling to the United States for tourism or short-term business can use the Visa Waiver Program to visit the U.S.  They need to apply through the on-line Electronic System of Travel Authorization (ESTA) at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/. Completing the form is free of charge; the form is also available in Czech language, however, please omit the diacritics when completing it.

Information on visa-free travel to the U.S. is also available at the U.S. Embassy Consular Section’s webpage.

The Visa Waiver program enables Czechs who travel to the U.S. for business or tourism to stay in the United States for as long as 90 days without a visa.  In order to use the program, travelers need two things: a biometric passport, which the government of the Czech Republic has been issuing since September 2006; and an on-line ESTA authorization, which we recommend they carry with them when they travel. 

Czechs who propose to travel for any other purpose—for example to study or participate in work exchange programs—will still require a visa.  Also note that anyone holding a valid B visa can still use it to travel.
