What are the basic requirements to travel to the United States?

Traveling to the United States or any other place, we can be given certain situations of getting sick or having some problems with luggage and related things. Therefore, and to cover ourselves in health, nothing like betting on a good travel insurance. Since you have to know that medical care is usually somewhat expensive if we have to pay for it out of pocket.
The passport

Do I need a visa or an ESTA to travel?
It is a question that we ask ourselves very frequently. The About the ESTA It is one of the ways we have to enter the country, without the need to carry a visa with us. But logically, a series of requirements must also be met. On the one hand, you will need a visa if you are going to work or study in the United States, since it implies spending more time there. All professional reasons or if you travel in private means of transport, also require visas. But it is true that within the visas, you can also request the 'Non-immigrant' (with a stay in the country for 90 days) or the 'Immigrant Green Card' (It allows you to enter and leave whenever you want). For everything else, you will need the ESTA.
What really is the ESTA?
It is a Travel authorization, but without having to obtain a Visa. Hence it is called (VWP) or Travel Exemption Program, that is to say, that here enter the inhabitants of a series of countries that are exempt from the visa but do need such authorization or ESTA. Which are the countries that are visa exempt? Well, in total there are 38 countries such as Spain, France, Ireland, Portugal, United Kingdom, etc. If you live in one of them, you only need to request authorization.

How can I request an ESTA and what is its validity?
It is one of the fastest and easiest ways we have when requesting a document. Because this authorization or permission, it is requested via internet. Remember that its purpose is always that you travel for the purpose of tourism, business or because you have to make a stopover in the country. Requesting it is very easy, since it is only a simple document that you have to fill out. After that, you make the payment that will be 29,95 euros per person and within 72 hours, you have it in your email. Easy right?
Another important fact is that from the moment you have the approval, the ESTA validity for the United States it is two years. This implies that you can enter and leave that country as many times as you want, during those 24 months. Although each of the stays may not exceed 90 days.
