Statement by Secretary Johnson on Security Enhancements to the Visa Waiver Program | Homeland Security
Effective today, those seeking to travel to the United States from
countries in our Visa Waiver Program (VWP) will be required to provide
additional data fields of information in the travel application
submitted via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). The
new information sought includes additional passport data, contact
information, and other potential names or aliases. We are taking this
step to enhance the security of the Visa Waiver Program, to learn more
about travelers from countries from whom we do not require a visa. We
are also confident these changes will not hinder lawful trade and travel
between our Nation and our trusted foreign allies in the Visa Waiver
Program.
