Visa required for the USA?

[essbee]

I can't seem to get any sense out of anyone. Any help appreciated.

As a UK citizen holding a British passport - and going to the US for business
for 10 days - do I need a visa or ESTA or anything?

Most sites seem to say that the passport is enough.

Esta- if you've got a criminal record then start to sweat.

ESTA and a non-Muslim name.

You'll then need a visa. One of the ESTA questions is about criminal records.

Came through yesterday. I was in the immigration queue behind a guy who (earwigging) had recently been to Libya. I switched queues. I think the guy may still be there

Yes need an ESTA. £12 online if I recall

Just lie, the US authorities have no access to UK criminal records other than for terrorism related stuff.

What colour are you?

ESTA for sure.

I once flew into NY without an ESTA. They were not happy that I had been able to board at Heathrow.
Thought they weren't gonna let me in the country!

You will need an Esta. It's $14, about £10.

A quick word of warning. As of 1st April they will only grant an ESTA to electronic passports. These were introduced late 2006 so there is potential for a very small window where you could still have a non electronic (passport with a chip) one.

I hope this helps

True. It's a weirdly worded question as well, about "crimes of moral turpitude." What exactly does this mean?

It is a posh way of asking whether or not you support Donald Trump.

As mentioned, ESTA is required but you MUST have one of the new chipped passports. All need to knows here http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/esta-usa-visa

Only 10 days? Just ESTA & say it's a holiday, no questions asked on the visa waiver.
I have a C1/D, but over there a lot longer.

And be prepared for a grilling if you are doing anything remotely abnormal on your trip...like maybe staying in two different places.
