ESTA for UK and Australian citizens 2026 — the honest step-by-step (Visa Waiver Program, online filing, refusals)

British, Australian, and most Western European travellers do not need a B1/B2 visa to visit the United States for tourism or short business up to 90 days. The Visa Waiver Program covers it via the ESTA — an online electronic authorisation costing USD 21. In 2026, the system stays robust, but small details cause 3% of applications to be refused. This guide shows the real process: online registration, documents to have ready, questions at boarding, and what to do if the ESTA is denied.
