什么是旅游授权的电子系统（ESTA）？

为了加强根据免签证计划赴美旅行的安全性，无签证旅行的要求得到了改善。免签证计划国家的本地人仍有资格无需签证旅行，但他们在前往美国之前必须获得经批准的旅行授权。

美国国土安全部和美国海关与边境保护局已经为您或第三方提供了一个安全的网站，并提供一份自动表格，以填写并申请旅行授权。一旦您在安全网站上输入了所需的履历，旅行和付款信息，系统将处理您的申请，以确定您是否有资格根据免签证计划无签证地前往美国。该系统将提供自动响应，并且在登机前，操作员将通过电子方式向美国海关和边境保护局进行核查，该海关和边境保护机构拥有经过登记的核准旅行授权。

旅行授权电子系统（ESTA）是一种自动系统，用于根据免签证计划（VWP）确定访问者是否有资格前往美国旅行，以及此次旅行是否代表安全风险或对公共秩序的威胁。 ESTA批准授权旅行者根据VWP登上飞机前往美国。

ESTA is not a visa. It does not fulfill the legal requirements to be used in place of a US visa when a visa is mandatory. Travelers with a valid US visa can travel to the United States with it, for the purpose it was issued. Travelers with valid visas don?t have to apply for ESTA authorization. The same way that a valid visa does not guarantee entry into the United States, an approved ESTA authorization is not a guarantee to enter the United States.

ESTA不是签证。如果签证是强制性的，它不符合美国签证的法定要求。持有有效美国签证的旅客可以前往美国旅行，目的是签发。持有效签证的旅客不必申请ESTA授权。如果有效签证不能保证进入美国，经批准的ESTA授权并不是进入美国的保证。

The ESTA approved applications are valid for a period of two years or until the passport expires, whichever occurs first, and they allow multiple trips to the United States, with the traveler not having to request another ESTA authorization again. When traveling to the US, with an approved ESTA authorization, you can only stay up to 90 days at a time, and there must be a reasonable amount of time between visits so that the CBP agent doesn?t think you are trying to live there. There is no established requirement for the time you should wait between one visit and the next.

ESTA申请获得批准但护照在两年内到期的旅客将获得ESTA授权，有效期至护照有效期限。

在下列情况下需要新的ESTA授权：

• 发出新护照，
• 更名（姓名和/或姓氏）
• 性别变化（ESTA目前在申请中没有X性别可供选择）。建议旅客选择他们感觉最舒适的选项。ESTA授权不会仅仅由应用程序中选择的性别来拒绝。
• 发出新护照，
• 你的情况发生变化; 例如，如果您被发现犯有违反道德和良好风俗的罪行，或者您患有传染性疾病。您必须提交一份新申请，该申请必须反映已更改的情况，否则您可能会在抵达美国后被拒绝入境。
• 您可以在美国国务院网站上获得有关其他非资格案件的更多信息。 U.S. State Department website

DHS recommends that you apply for ESTA’s authorization, as soon as you know that you will travel to the United States under the VWP. If your ESTA authorization expires while in the US, this will not affect your exit.

Please note: It is important that you PRINT a copy of the receipt document to keep it in your records. You don?t need to print the form when you arrive in the United States, because the agents already have the information in electronic form.

ESTA授权和签证之间的区别是什么？

An approved travel authorization is not a visa. It doesn?t meet the legal or regulatory requirements to replace a US visa when the laws of the United States require one. Those who have a valid visa can still travel to the United States with it, provided it is used for the purpose for which it was issued. It is not necessary for those traveling with a valid visa to request a travel authorization.

Should I Request ESTA Authorization If…?

I?m a Canadian citizen?
No, Canadian citizens who travel with a Canadian passport don?t need an ESTA authorization.

I?m a permanent resident of Canada?
If you are a permanent resident of Canada and a citizen of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and enters the United States by land, an ESTA authorization is not required. If you don?t have an ESTA authorization, you will be asked to complete the I-94W printed form and proceed through the manual entry process at the land border crossing. If you have an ESTA authorization approved when you enter the United States through the border crossing, you will NOT have to complete the I-94W printed form and your entry process will be speeded up. If you are going to the United States by air or sea, you MUST apply for ESTA authorization. If you are not a citizen of a country covered by the VWP, you are required to have a visa and, therefore, ESTA authorization does not apply to your situation.

I?m a legal permanent resident of the United States and a citizen of a country that participates in the VWP?
没有。

I?m a citizen of a country covered by the VWP and I?m visiting the United States from Canada or Mexico?
If you are a citizen of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and you enter the United States by land from Mexico or Canada, an ESTA authorization is not required. If you don?t have an ESTA authorization, you will be asked to complete the I-94W printed form and go through the manual entry process at the land border crossing. If you have an ESTA authorization approved when you enter the United States through the border crossing, you will NOT have to complete the I-94W printed form and your entry process will be speeded up. However, if it?s already issued, you must return your I-94W green card when leaving the United States. If you arrive by air or sea, you must request ESTA authorization.

我是一个参与VWP的国家的公民，我正在美国乘飞机途经美国？
Yes, you must apply for ESTA authorization, even if you are only in transit through the United States. In the address request space in the form, write “in transit.”

I have dual citizenship both from a country that participates in the VWP and from one that doesn?t?
If you are flying in compliance with VWP conditions, with your VWP passport, you must apply for ESTA authorization. If you are using the passport of the country that doesn?t participate in the VWP, you will need a visa and, therefore, the ESTA authorization applies in your case.

I?m the citizen of a country that participates in the VWP and I am on my way to Guam or to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (or CNMI, for its acronym in English)?
For international travel to Guam/CNMI under the VWP, an ESTA authorization is needed. The nationalities that meet the VWP requirements for Guam/CNMI can travel to these places under that program, without the need for ESTA authorization. However, in regards to the VWP for Guam/CNMI, the maximum stay is 45 days and is restricted to those islands only; the trip can?t be to the United States..
从美国到关岛/ CNMI之旅被视为国家航班，因此不需要ESTA授权。旅客必须事先接受检查，才能从关岛/ CNMI旅行到美国。如果这次旅行发生在VWP下，他们将需要ESTA授权。

I?m a citizen of a country that participates in the VWP and I?m traveling for business or tourism reasons for a short period of time, under the VWP, to Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands?
是的，需要ESTA授权才能前往这些地方。

I?m traveling with a minor (less than 18 years of age) who is a citizen of a country that participates in the VWP?
如果孩子根据VWP作为游客在美国旅行了90天或更少，他或她必须单独申请ESTA批准。

…I?m a US citizen with dual citizenship in a country that participates in the VWP?
美国公民不需要获得ESTA授权，并且必须使用他们的美国护照才能前往美国。

…I have a valid visa?
Those who have a valid visa can use it to travel to the United States, for the purpose for which it was issued. Those who travel with a valid visa don?t have to apply for an ESTA authorization..

什么是签证豁免计划？

The Visa Waiver Program allows foreigners from certain countries to travel to the United States for business or tourism, for stays of up to 90 days, without the need to obtain a visa. Travelers admitted under the Visa Waiver Program must agree to waive their reconsideration or appeal rights, as explained in the Waiver of Rights section of the application. For more information, see: Who meets the requirements to apply for admission under the Visa Waiver Program?.For more information, see §217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1187, and 8 C.F.R. § 217.

如果我忘记了我的应用程序编号，会发生什么情况？

To retrieve an individual request, select “Check ESTA status” on the home page. If you don?t know your application number, enter your last name, first name (nickname) and country of issuance of the passport, in addition to your passport number and birth date.

How does the U.S. Government protect the privacy of my data, and who has access to it?

申请人通过ESTA电子门户网站提供的信息受制于类似旅行者预评估计划的严格隐私法规和控制措施。获取这些信息仅限于那些有专业知识的人。

何时才能知道我是否获得批准？

In most cases, the Electronic System for Travel Authorization will show the status of the request immediately. In those cases in which more time is needed to process an electronic travel authorization request, a response will usually be received within 72 hours. If you receive a “pending” response, you will receive information to verify the status of your request. The three possible responses to an electronic travel authorization request are:

我是否需要代表我的孩子申请ESTA授权？

是的，携带或无人陪伴（无论年龄）的儿童，谁是国民或免签证国家的公民，都必须在前往美国之前获得自己的ESTA批准。

如果您填写了未成年人的ESTA申请表，您可以检查免费部分中的第二个选项（仅限第三方）。您必须代表您的孩子了解ESTA条款，并且您必须如实回答问题和陈述作为其法定代表。

Children listed in their parents’ passports don?t qualify for ESTA application. Children must have their own passport (without expiring) in order to qualify for ESTA.

Children’s passports (Kinderreisepass) do not participate in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), unless they have been issued or extended before October 26, 2006. The document must meet the VWP’s eligibility requirements, that is, it must be readable by machine and, if it was issued/ renewed/extended after October 26, 2005, it must have a digital photograph of the owner integrated into the biographical information page. The identification numbers of all children (Kinderausweis) require a visa and don?t participate in the VWP.

旅行授权是否保证我对美国的接纳？

如果您的电子旅行授权获得批准，则表示您有权根据免签计划前往美国，但不能保证您将被允许进入该国。抵达美国后，入境口岸的海关和边境保护代理人将对您进行检查，您可能会根据免签证计划或其他原因决定您没有资格进入美国美国法律。

如果我根据签证豁免计划旅行到美国，为什么需要填写申请表？

The recommendations implemented on September 11, 2007 in the “Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007” (9/11 Act) modified by Section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish an electronic travel authorization system and other measures to improve the security of the Visa Waiver Program. The ESTA adds another level of security that allows DHS to determine, prior to travelling, whether a person meets the requirements to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, and if such a trip poses a security or public order risk.

我的信息安全吗？

是的，这个电子门户网站由美国政府管理，并使用防止未经授权访问您输入和查阅的信息的技术。此外，该电子门户网站按照美国隐私法规定的规则和条例运作，以确保您的信息的隐私。

我的应用程序信息将被存储多长时间？

The ESTA application information will remain active for the period of time that the approved ESTA authorization is valid, which is usually two years, or until the traveler’s passport expires, whichever comes first. Subsequently, DHS will keep this information for another year, and then it will be archived for twelve years in order to allow its recovery for public order, national security or investigation purposes. Once archived, the number of officials with access to information will be even more restricted. This is consistent with both the CBP border search authority, and the border security mission mandated to CBP by Congress. The information linked to current public order surveillance records, to coincidences with CBP execution activities, or to investigations or cases, including ESTA requests denied, will remain accessible for the duration of the public order activities with which they are related.

美国国土安全部已经过渡到电子I-94W形式，因此，ESTA申请数据将取代通过印刷I-94W形式收集的数据。在那些使用ESTA申请数据代替通过印刷的I-94W表格收集的信息的情况下，ESTA申请中包含的信息将根据I-94W保留计划保留75年

我的信息是否与任何人共享？

ESTA收集和保存的信息可能会被其他DHS官员根据他们的任务使用，以至于他们必须知道这些信息。

虽然他们不会收到旅客提供给美国国土安全部的ESTA申请信息，但航空公司将通过高级乘客信息系统（APIS）收到ESTA乘客身份确认信息，表明ESTA授权是否需要以及授权是否被授予。

这些信息可能会与部落，地方，州，联邦和外国政府机构共享，也可能与负责调查或起诉违反法律，规则，法规，命令或许可或强制执行的多边政府组织共享，或者当DHS认为信息将有助于遵守法律，无论是民事还是刑事。此外，当美国国土安全部认为此类用途合理以协助与国家或国际安全或跨国犯罪调查有关的反恐或情报收集工作时，可共享这些信息。所有披露内容将与2008年6月10日在官方公报上公布的“隐私法案记录通知制度”相对应，并可在美国国土安全部网站上查阅。

虽然他们不会收到旅客提供给美国国土安全部的ESTA申请信息，但航空公司将通过高级乘客信息系统（APIS）收到ESTA乘客身份确认信息，表明ESTA授权是否需要以及授权是否被授予。

如果确定签证申请人无法入境，该怎么办？

根据免签证计划申请入境美国并被确定为不符合入境资格的旅客将被拒绝入境，并将返回其原籍国或旅行者入境的第三国往返美国的航空公司的机票

谁需要旅行授权？

All passengers traveling under the Visa Waiver Program need an approved travel authorization before leaving for the United States, either by air or sea. Even babies exempt from paying airline tickets must have an approved travel authorization on their behalf if they don?t have a visa to travel to the United States. The request can be presented by a third party in behalf of someone traveling under the Visa Waiver Program.

多久我的授权有效？

除非被撤销，否则旅行授权有效期为授权之日起两年或直至护照到期，以先到者为准。核准的授权屏幕显示您的旅行授权的到期日期。

Generally, your ESTA authorization is valid for several trips over the course of two years (from the date of its approval) or until your passport expires, whichever comes first *. This means that, as long as you have received an ESTA authorization to travel, you don?t have to reapply during the validity period.

如果您的ESTA授权在美国期间到期，这不会影响您离开该国家。

Notice: It is important that you PRINT a copy of the document to keep it as proof. You don?t need the form when you arrive to the United States, because the agents already have the information electronically.

Receiving the ESTA authorization doesn?t mean that you can stay in the United States for two years. It only allows you to travel to the United States according to the conditions of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which only allows you to stay in the United States for 90 days. If you plan to stay for more than 90 days, you must obtain a visa from the nearest US embassy or consulate.

*如果您获得新护照，或者您更改了姓名，性别或国籍，则必须申请新的旅行授权。如果您对VWP的任何资格问题的任何回答发生变化，这也是必要的。每个新申请将收取相关费用64美元。

注意：尽管CBP建议您在旅行前至少72小时提交您的申请，但您可以在登机前随时提出申请。在大多数情况下，您将在发送请求后收到一个响应秒数。

我的付款信息安全吗？

我的付款信息安全吗？

何时提交ESTA申请？

申请可以在前往美国之前随时提交。国土安全部建议旅行授权申请必须在旅行前至少72小时提交。除非被撤销，否则旅行授权有效期为授权之日起两年或直至护照到期，以先到者为准。

我可以申请ESTA而没有确定的旅行计划吗？

是。申请时不需要具体的旅行计划，但您需要在美国设立联系人。

While a specific travel plan is not required, it is recommended that you provide the address where you will be staying in the United States to complete the application. If you plan to be in multiple places, you should only enter the first address. If you don?t know the full address, you can enter the name of the hotel or the place you will visit.

If you are in transit, select “yes” to the question: “Is your trip to the United States in transit to another country?” in the Travel Information section.

如何纠正我应用程序中的错误？

The website will allow applicants to review and correct their data before submitting the application, including reconfirmation of their passport number. Before sending an application with the required payment information, you can correct all the data fields, except for the passport number and country of issuance of the passport. If an applicant made a mistake in his/her biographical information or his/her passport, he/she will have to send a new application. You will be charged the amount stipulated for each new application you submit. Any other error can be corrected or updated by clicking on “Check individual status” in “Check ESTA status”. If the applicant was wrong to answer the eligibility questions, he/she must click on the link in the CBP Information Center at the bottom of each page.

我的国家的问题不在ESTA下载菜单，其他问题的护照资格。?

If you can?t find your country of issuance in the drop-down menu, make sure you are selecting the correct country. Your “Country of issuance” is the same as your “Country of Nationality”. For example, if you are a citizen of the United Kingdom but obtained your passport at the UK Consulate in Hong Kong, then UK is your country of issuance. The UK Consulate can be found in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is not the country issuing your passport.

Otherwise, if you can?t find the name of your country of issuance or country of nationality, you probably should not request an ESTA authorization. Only citizens of the countries that participate in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) must request an ESTA authorization.

If you have dual nationality and you are registered in ESTA, you must use a passport that meets VWP requirements to board the plane when leaving the country of departure and upon arrival in the United States. If the two countries of your nationality meet VWP requirements, we strongly recommend that you choose which one you wish to declare for the purposes of your trip to the United States and use that country’s passport each time you travel. If a person has two different ESTA authorizations generates a confusion that will only delay your trip.

如果您是美国公民，但也是参与VWP的国家的公民，则不应申请ESTA授权。作为入籍美国公民的要求之一是申请并使用美国护照旅行。虽然我们知道在某些情况下，美国入籍公民可能会使用其替代国家的护照进行旅行，但我们的期望是，您可以使用美国护照从另一个国家旅行到美国旅行，离开外国和抵达美国时。

If you have a real emergency and you can?t get your US passport before your travels and you only have a passport that participates in the VWP, then you will have to apply for ESTA authorization with that passport to travel to the United States. When you arrive at the US airport with your foreign passport, you will have to go through the non-residents line.

如果我的护照中的信息已更改或已过期，我该怎么办？

If you obtain a new passport or change your passport information, you must request a new travel authorization and pay the stipulated amounts. See “Which information can I update?” For a complete description of the information that can be changed after the submission of your application.

我能知道为什么我的应用程序被拒绝吗？

国土安全部认真制定了ESTA计划，以确保只有那些没有资格通过免签证计划前往美国的人或拒绝旅行需要警方采取行动或有安全风险的人才能获得旅行授权。尽管ESTA网站提供了与DHS旅游补偿咨询计划（TRIP）网站的链接，但无法保证通过DHS TRIP纠正的请求将解决导致ESTA请求被拒绝的免签计划的不合格性。

请记住，大使馆和领事馆不能提供有关ESTA否认的详细信息，也不能解决导致ESTA拒绝的问题。使馆和领事馆可能会处理非移民签证申请，如果获得批准，申请将成为拒绝其ESTA申请被拒绝的旅行者被授权前往美国旅行的唯一方式。

What Should I Do If I Don?t Receive The Approval To Travel?

如果您收到授权请求的未经授权的旅程回复，但希望继续您的旅行计划，请访问美国国务院网站www.travel.state.gov，以获取有关如何申请签证的更多信息。拒绝旅行授权只会禁止您根据免签证计划旅行，并不意味着您没有资格获得批准的签证前往美国。如果您的旅行授权未获批准，则法院不会有任何管辖权来评估ESTA的资格决定。

如果第一个申请被拒绝，我可以提交新的申请吗？

如果旅客被拒绝ESTA授权并且他们的情况没有改变，新的申请也将被拒绝。不符合ESTA要求的旅客无权享受免签证计划的旅行，并且必须在美国大使馆或领事馆申请非移民签证。使用虚假信息提交新申请以符合旅行授权的要求将永久禁止旅行者作为根据免签证计划前往美国的候选人。

如果旅行授权被拒绝，我需要马上旅行，我该怎么办？

Unfortunately, the Department of State can?t guarantee day-to-day appointments due to the changing demand for visas. You will find information about the appointment process available in the nearest consulate section or in the Department of State’s website. As a result, travelers are urged to request ESTA approval in advance of the date of their trip.

如果我放弃任何强制空间，ESTA授权将被拒绝吗？

All mandatory spaces must be filled out. If erroneous information is introduced, this doesn?t mean that the application will be necessarily denied, but it can require a manual adjudication (and, therefore, it will take more time) before CBP gives a response to the applicant.

何时我需要申请新的ESTA授权？

在以下任何情况下您可能需要新的旅行授权：

o 旅行者获得新护照

o 旅行者改变他/她的名字

o 旅行者改变性别

旅行者改变他/她的国籍; 要么

o There is a change in the underlying circumstances of the traveler’s previous responses to any of the questions inESTA application that require answering with a “yes” or a “no”.

Typically, travel authorization approvals will be granted for a period of two years or until the applicant’s passport expires, whichever comes first. The ESTA will provide the effective dates when the request is approved. Therefore, a traveler must request a new travel authorization from the ESTA when it expires, prior authorization, or the applicant’s passport. You will be charged a stipulated fee for each new application you submit.
