Ask HN: Why is the US ESTA Application so complex and slow?
why is the US ESTA Application so complex and slow? It takes more than 72 hours to get a result, costs 21 USD, and requires all kinds of obscure details such as detailed contact information to people in the USA. Has USA closed it's borders for tourists?
