ESTA advice & flight service for travelling to the USA from Switzerland
We support you throughout the entire process for your business trip or group travel to the USA - from ESTA advice, flight and hotel bookings to pre-departure assistance.
Why ESTA is necessary for travelling to the USA
Swiss citizens require an electronic travel authorisation (ESTA) to enter the USA.
This is valid for stays of up to 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) - regardless of whether you are travelling for business or pleasure.
We support you in making the correct application, explain the process, check your requirements and provide tips to ensure that your application is successful. We can assist you with all other travel formalities on request.
