Urgent! Beat the US's new $14 visitor fee in 2 mins
Anyone even thinking of going to the US in next 2 yrs should act before 8 Sept
The US Govt's just announced from 8 Sept its currently free Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (Esta) form which all UK residents must complete will cost $14 (£9) - if you don't fill it in, immigration will turn you away. Do it now - it lasts two years. To avoid the charge, simply fill out the form now while it's free. Frankly, even if not planning to go, do it anyway just in case. Renew existing Estas: If you already have an Esta, there's no official renewal system so complete a new application now and you'll be given another 2 yrs. Where does the money go? $4 goes to admin, $10 to a US tourism fund. Quite ironic, you would've thought keeping it cheaper to get in would help tourism more. After all, it's free for most US travellers to come here.

Cheers Mike, I've just forwarded it to my brother, he's been to Texas three times this year already! No use for me and my better half though, our passports are out of date! We were just looking at going to the States next summer too.
