ESTA rejected?

If you are eligible for an ESTA because of your nationality, you can travel with an ESTA to the US for business or pleasure. However, it happens regularly that an ESTA application is rejected. This can have different causes, perhaps you have made a mistake in your application form (for instance you ticked the wrong box), or on the last page you have had to answer ‘yes’ to a question. Whatever the cause, you are not told why you have been rejected.

Has your ESTA been rejected?

In that case you have to apply for a visa. If you travel for pleasure you have to apply for a B2 visa. If you travel for business you have to apply for a B1 visa. A combined B1/B2 visa is also an option.

* With respect to all references to “country” or “countries” in this document, it should be noted that the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, Pub. L. No. 96-8, Section 4(b)(1), provides that “[w]henever the laws of the United States refer or relate to foreign countries, nations, states, governments, or similar entities, such terms shall include and such laws shall apply with respect to Taiwan.” 22 U.S.C. § 3303(b)(1). Accordingly, all references to “country” or “countries” in the Visa Waiver Program authorizing legislation, Section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1187, are read to include Taiwan. This is consistent with the United States’ one-China policy, under which the United States has maintained unofficial relations with Taiwan since 1979.
