Do nationals or citizens of countries that participate in the VWP require an ESTA if they are only transiting the United States en route to another country?
Yes. The United States no longer has a Transit Without Visa program, so eligible nationals or citizens of countries that participate in the VWP will require either an ESTA or a visa to transit the United States. If a traveler is only planning to transit through the United States en route to another country, when he or she completes the ESTA application, the traveler should enter the words “In Transit” and his or her final destination location in the address lines under the heading “Address While In The United States”.
