Spain is one of the 40 countries that are part of the Visa Waiver Program. For this reason, <strong>it is possible to apply for ESTA,<\/strong> without the need to apply for a regular visa through the Embassy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is ESTA. Characteristics and requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ESTA is an electronic travel permit<\/strong> which allows its holders the possibility to stay in the United States for a maximum of 90 days per stay. This document does not allow its holder to work, study or live in the United States. Its main characteristics are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It can only be applied for by nationals of countries that are part of the Visa Waiver Program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The resolution of applications is carried out within a maximum of 48 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is valid for stays of up to 90 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To be approved, the purpose of travel must be for tourism, medical purposes, business, or transit to another country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This document will be required if entry is by air or sea. If by land, it is not required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need to have a valid passport that does not expire before you travel to the United States.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No change of status is allowed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ESTA USA visa waiver is valid for 2 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To enter the United States, the ESTA does not need to be printed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The necessary requirements to apply for ESTA<\/strong> are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This form can be completed by the applicant in a few minutes, as the information provided is basic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The traveller must enter his or her full name, passport details, and contact information. This should include home address, telephone number, and email address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most ESTA applications are processed and approved within minutes. It is recommended to process the application within 48 hours before the scheduled time of travel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">American B2 Tourist Visa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the traveller's country is not listed in the VWP, he\/she must apply for the <strong>American tourist visa B2<\/strong>at the US embassy. For this, it is important to prove that the person applying for the visa has sufficient funds to be able to cover the costs of travel and accommodation. You must also present documents proving family ties in your home country. These can be birth or marriage certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <strong>tourist visa<\/strong> Travellers may enter the United States only for a certain period of time. During this period of time, the holder of a US visa may engage in leisure activities, visit friends or relatives, take English courses, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lugares_de_interes_para_tu_viaje_de_aventura_a_Estados_Unidos\"><\/span>Places of interest for your adventure trip to the USA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, this country has many shopping malls where many people go. Also interesting are the amusement parks, Disney parks, Las Vegas and many outdoor trails. For some people just visiting New York City is a reason to enjoy themselves. Others are attracted by the beaches of Miami or a visit to Hollywood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>American culture is very varied and although it has nothing to do with tourism in Spain, the truth is that it is a country that in one way or another influences the whole world, perhaps more than any other influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States has countless landscapes ideal for adventure and nature lovers. The following are ten of the <strong>most impressive sights for an adventurous trip to North America.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grand Canyon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grand Canyon of Arizona was carved by the Colorado River over millions of years.

One of them erupts regularly, allowing you to see the lava flowing from inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eternal Flame Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in Chestnut Ridge Park, New York.
