The ESTA eligibility questions are designed to filter out anyone considered a security risk. You’ll be asked for your:
Passport details
Birthplace and date of birth
Additional citizenships
Parents’ names
Contact details
Work details
Travel details.
You’ll also need to answer a series of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions. These ask, among other questions, whether you’ve ever been convicted of a crime and if you’ve ever distributed illegal drugs.
Answering yes to any of these questions could mean your application is denied.
