Can I only apply for ESTA registration three days prior to departure?
No, quite the opposite. In order to make sure you get your ESTA registration in time, you should apply at least 72 hours prior to departure. It is advisable to apply here as soon as you have your travel data such as the flight time and date, flight number, length and location of your stay. If any of your travel data changes after you applied you must update your information on the above mentioned website. Question: Is the registration a substitute for form I-94 handed out on board the plane? Answer: No, you will still have to fill out form I-94 and present it to the immigration official at border control at the airport or port. It is very important that the lower part of the I-94, which will be attached to your passport, be removed again at departure by an employee of your travel organization! This is important since it is the only way for USCIS to document whether a person has indeed left the United States. Question: Do all travelers to the US have to file an ESTA application? Answer:
