Affiliate disclosure

Affiliate links on this tool

One link on this checker is an affiliate link, and it is the only paid relationship on this page:

That link carries rel="sponsored" and a disclosure notice next to it, in line with the FTC endorsement guides (16 CFR Part 255) and EU transparency rules (Directive 2005/29/EC). The ESTA application itself is never sold here: the official route is always esta.cbp.dhs.gov, linked from the verdict at no cost beyond the government fee, and we earn nothing from it.

This site also links to Amazon search results for practical gear. Those links are ordinary, untagged links: we are not in the Amazon Associates programme and earn nothing if you buy through them.

They sit in the clearly labelled "Before you fly to the U.S." gear block underneath the checker. They carry no tracking tag and no rel="sponsored", because that attribute tells search engines a link is paid and those ones are not.

What affiliate links never touch

The checker's verdicts — ESTA eligibility, the fee, and your passport validity window — are computed from the public CBP ruleset only. No verdict, threshold, or piece of guidance on this site is influenced by monetisation, and the official application links always point to esta.cbp.dhs.gov and travel.state.gov, which pay us nothing.
