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..

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)
I've made several changes to this, because as a UK travaller to the US, I was surprised, confused and discusted to find the many scam web-sites out there charging a fee for a free service. I hope my changes/editing meets with approval —Preceding

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)
Optional information now includes a request for social media accounts, which is a very dubious exercise. Who knows if bad-mouthing some aspect of the USA on social media becomes a reason to be barred from entry. Vicarage ( talk) 22:33, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck ..... Just because the US State Department doesn't call it a visa does not make it so. Is there any citation for the claim that it doesn't rise to the level of scrutiny of a visa? Captain Nemo III ( talk) 21:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
The dictionary definition of visa according to Webster/Google is an official mark (1) or stamp on a passport that allows someone to enter or leave a country(2) usually for a particular reason. ESTA is an official mark (1), albeit in an electronic format. However in regards to (2) (see https://www.estaonline.com/questions.html):
In conclusion, ESTA meets the dictionary definition of a visa while the US government states that it is not an visa as described in US law. CultureArchitect ( talk) 05:20, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

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)
