Can I apply for ESTA for more than one nationality at the same time?

The Visa Waiver Program (ESTA) was created to facilitate temporary entry into the United States for citizens of participating countries. However, the system is structured so that each application is linked to a single passport corresponding to the nationality you will use during your trip.

If you have dual nationality, it is best to select the passport you will present upon entry into the US and submit the ESTA application using the data from that document. The system does not allow the same applicant to have two simultaneous authorizations linked to passports of different nationalities, as personal and travel information needs to be unified in a single application.

It is crucial to follow all the rules and guidelines of the US Department of Homeland Security, since inconsistent or incorrect information may compromise entry into the country. If there are specific questions or a more complex situation, it is important to consult official sources or specialized professionals-always being cautious with offers that promise guaranteed results, as they may be unreliable and even constitute scams.

In summary, when planning your trip, choose to use the passport you will present during international transit and make the ESTA request based on that documentation. This way, you will be in compliance with the requirements and avoid complications during the travel authorization process.
