British citizens travel to the US under the Visa Waiver Program with an ESTA. Costs US$ 21, valid 2 years, allows multiple entries of up to 90 days each.
UK passport holders are part of the US Visa Waiver Program (VWP). ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is required before boarding.
ESTA costs US$ 21, valid for 2 years or until passport expires. Each entry permits up to 90 days. Approval usually within 72h, often instant.
For work, study, journalism, or stays beyond 90 days, a consular visa (B1/B2, F-1, H-1B, etc.) is required.

ESTA is fast and cheap — US$ 21, online, usually approved instantly.
CBP officers can deny entry even with valid ESTA — be honest, brief, and specific.

Tecnicamente não. Praticamente sim.
Travel insurance is not legally required but the US has the highest emergency medical costs in the world — a single ICU night costs US$ 8,000-20,000.
Recommended coverage: minimum US$ 250,000, ideally US$ 500,000+ with adventure sports if relevant.
The US under VWP is straightforward for UK travelers — ESTA, fly, enjoy. Just be prepared for thorough CBP questioning.
