Can you cancel an ESTA and reapply?

ESTA Renewal and Reapplication

The ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is a requirement for travelers from certain countries who wish to visit the United States for business or tourism purposes. It is a relatively simple process to apply for an ESTA, and it can be done online.

Can You Cancel an ESTA and Reapply?

Once an ESTA has been issued, it is not necessary to cancel it before reapplying. Simply submitting a new application is sufficient. This is the recommended course of action if your travel details have changed or you need to update your information.

Applying for a New ESTA

The process for applying for a new ESTA is as follows:

1. Visit the ESTA website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/.
2. Click on the "Apply for ESTA" button.
3. Complete the online application form.
4. Pay the application fee.
5. Submit your application.

The application fee for an ESTA is $21. The ESTA is valid for two years, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

Reapplying for an ESTA

You may need to reapply for an ESTA if:

• Your travel details have changed (e.g., your destination, travel dates, or airline).
• You have new or updated information to provide (e.g., your passport number, name, or address).
• Your ESTA has expired.

You can reapply for an ESTA as many times as necessary. However, you should be aware that there is a 90-day waiting period before you can reapply after an ESTA has been revoked or denied.

Conclusion

Reapplying for an ESTA is a simple process that can be done online. Simply submit a new application with your updated information. There is no need to cancel your existing ESTA before reapplying.
