We recommend starting the planning process 9–12 months in advance to ensure availability for your preferred dates, destinations, and activities. This also allows ample time to organise the necessary documentation, including passports, visas, and travel insurance.
Most students and teachers travelling from the UK or EU will require an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) to enter the USA for short stays of up to 90 days. An ESTA is not the same as a visa but is necessary for entry under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
Here’s a general guideline:
We recommend starting the application process at least 3 months before departure to ensure everything is in place.
