ESTA Application

Featured Replies

My wife is Thai-born, but now a British Citizen residing in the UK. We are looking at a short holiday in the US soon, and on the face of it she will qualify for an ESTA. However, I am wondering if a prior application to travel to the US will have any bearing on an application.

 

Back in 2000, when our relationship was in its' infancy we made an application for a visa at the Bangkok embassy for her to join me on a US holiday. With the benefit of hindsight, this application was never going to succeed, and of course it didn't!

 

My question therefore is - will that refusal all those years ago have any bearing on her application for an ESTA in 2016, as my wife and a British Citizen?

 

Thanks for any opinions.

The only way to find out, really, is to apply.

 

The application is quite simple and she should be issued the Esta within a few minutes (or seconds) of applying.

Took your advice.

 

I declared the previous application, which meant that it was referred for review, but the authorisation was granted after about 30 minutes, so all is good!
