Esta Renewal

[casinocolin]

Our Esta's expire in April so we have to renew them for our trip in September. Do you use your exsiting esta to renew it or do you have to make a new application? Also as we did not have to pay for them, when we renew them do we have to pay this time?

I found this on the official Esta site so I have answered my own questions

Travel authorization approvals will typically be granted for a period of two years or until the applicant’s passport expires, whichever is sooner. ESTA will provide validity dates upon approval of the application. Therefore, a traveler must apply for a new travel authorization when a prior ESTA authorization or an applicant’s passport expires. The associated fee will be charged for each new application submitted.

Yep just reapply and pay.
