Hi,

in one week I might fly to New York for 7 days. I am a German. I guess, I do not need a visa.

But do I have to submit some other personal infos before departure?

The Thai travel agent only gave me a link to the US Embassy.

Check out the "Visa Waiver Program" for U.S. entry here:

As far as "notifications" are concerned, believe your airline is responsible to notify the U.S. Government (TSA??) of all passengers on board.

Yes you are required befor you board your flight.

Direct link for ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization)

Lately, the airlines have been asking for this information online. Whatever airline you're flying, try checking your confirmation at their website and see if there's additional information to fill in there.

Thank you, everybody.

Very professional and helpful people here in the forum.
