Noteworthy?

This page is no longer about/redirecting to the Electricity Trust of South Australia. Should it be expanded? Should it be here at all? --TomDæmon (talk) 00:49, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This should never have been turned from a redirect into a page on Electronic Travel System Authorization. You can't just ususp an article title like that! I'll rename it to Electronic Travel System Authorization and turn ETSA into a disambiguation page. Peter Ballard (talk) 01:22, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Reading the link, the travel system is actually called "ESTA" not "ETSA" anyway. grumble. Peter Ballard (talk) 01:47, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I've made several changes to this, because as a UK travaller to the US, I was surprised, confused and discusted to find the many scam web-sites out there charging a fee for a free service. I hope my changes/editing meets with approval —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.42.128 (talk) 15:07, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Required information

A lot of information that can be submitted as part of an ESTA application is not mandatory, such as flight number, airport, address in the US. What are the advantages and disadvantages of submitting that information? --137.138.4.37 (talk) 09:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How is ESTA not a visa?

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck ..... Just because the US State Department doesn't call it a visa does not make it so. Is there any citation for the claim that it doesn't rise to the level of scrutiny of a visa? Captain Nemo III (talk) 21:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is Is a travel authorization a visa? a reliable source? However that sentence does look misplaced. Edgepedia (talk) 08:35, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
At best that page could be a citation for "the US Department of State claims that ESTA is not a visa under US law".Captain Nemo III (talk) 01:14, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
