Applying for a business ESTA or business visa for the USA

The USA has a strong influence on Western society. Moreover, many large companies are located in or have their head office in the USA. The country is therefore very much loved by Dutch passport holders as a business destination.

Not every traveller is used to travelling with a visa. Travelling within the EU does not require a visa for Dutch passport holders. If you are travelling outside of the EU, however, then a visa is often needed. This is also the case for the USA. When travelling to the USA for business, you will need an ESTA or a business visa in most cases to be able to enter and travel in the country. ESTA stands for Electronic System for Travel Authorisation. If you have an ESTA you can show that you have official permission to enter and travel through the USA. Please note that your eligibility for an ESTA is dependant on your personal situation. If you are not eligible for an ESTA then you must apply for a business visa from the Consulate. We can also assist you with this process.

Do you want to apply for an ESTA or business visa for the USA? Then it is very important that your application is completed in the right way. If you don’t meet all of the requirements, for example, your application could be rejected. Would you prefer to have a worry-free application for a business visa or ESTA? Then let Visa Service Desk take care of it for you. Thanks to our extensive experience, you can be sure that your application will run as smoothly as possible.

The type of business visa that you must obtain is defined by U.S. immigration law and relates to your purpose of travel. Visa Service Desk cannot advise you on which business visa you should have but the U.S. Department of State has a Visa Wizard on their website to help you to find the correct business visa for your travel needs.

Once you know which business visa you need, Visa Service Desk can guide you through the entire process of applying for it.
