Talk:Electronic System for Travel Authorization

message: I removed the claim that the name was changed from ETA to ESTA at the behest of the Spanish government, as it had been left uncited since 2009. Besides, the US government introduced the Individual retirement account, universally abbreviated to IRA, at the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, so I doubt they're that tactful..

message: This page is no longer about/redirecting to the Electricity Trust of South Australia. Should it be expanded? Should it be here at all? --TomDæmon (talk) 00:49, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This should never have been turned from a redirect into a page on Electronic Travel System Authorization. You can't just ususp an article title like that! I'll rename it to Electronic Travel System Authorization and turn ETSA into a disambiguation page. Peter Ballard (talk) 01:22, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Noteworthy? 

message: A lot of information that can be submitted as part of an ESTA application is not mandatory, such as flight number, airport, address in the US. What are the advantages and disadvantages of submitting that information? --137.138.4.37 (talk) 09:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Information about the fill-in list missing completely! On this list, U.S. authorities enquire about private data of the traveler which would be protected by privacy laws in the home country. Even though the general American public might be unaware of how their visitors are treated and the behavior is not reciprocal (yet), this list has been the center of much controversial debates and press coverage in other Western countries.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.157.46.138 (talk) 10:46, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I have added a cited comment confirming the issue for UK nationals with this passport type, along with the contradictory ESTA information, pertaining to long-term permanent residential citizens with passport type "British Subject". This is a major point of confusion, and seemingly infers that such British passport holders have to apply for a full visa at great time and expense to this needlessly discriminated against minority passport holding group. -Jimthing (talk) 00:06, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
