Esta and Payment

[Lesley S]

Need to apply for 5 estas this time, haven't done them since you have to pay as we have always had a valid one. Do you pay with your US card (if you have one) or is it in sterling and use your UK credit card, so there are no penalties to pay or conversion rates and charges

Also do you have to pay for each one individually or can you group them together and pay in one lump sum.=

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, last year I did each one individually, then you can group them together. I was then given a group I.D number and paid using a £ credit card and was charged at the bank exchange rate at the time with no surcharges.

Same here - I did four individually and at the end the charge was just one. When you are doing them as you come to the end of each you have the option to continue to add others.

Just seen that you can add a group, and have paid using my us card. It saves the uk bank charging us for having it converted from Dollars to Sterling.

Thanks for replying.
