40 USD
ESTA authorization for Visa Waiver Program nationals travelling for tourism/business up to 90 days. Fee rose from USD 21 to USD 40 on 30 Sep 2025. Valid up to 2 years.
Tourist
185 USD
B-2 (tourism) / B-1/B-2 nonimmigrant visa application (MRV) fee for non-VWP nationals. In effect since 17 Jun 2023. Does not include the separate Visa Integrity Fee.

Good to know

  • Nationals of the ~40 Visa Waiver Program countries can travel for tourism or business up to 90 days with an approved ESTA (USD 40) instead of a visa.
  • Travellers not eligible for the VWP need a visa, typically a B-2 tourist / B-1-B-2 visa; the application (MRV) fee is USD 185.
  • A new USD 250 'Visa Integrity Fee' has been legislated for most nonimmigrant visa holders (VWP/ESTA travellers are exempt). As of mid-2026 it is not yet being collected because no payment mechanism is in place.
  • Apply for ESTA only via the official CBP site (esta.cbp.dhs.gov); VWP travellers must hold an e-passport and meet program conditions.

As a citizen of Mauritius you must apply for a visa at a United States embassy or consulate before you travel. Start early: appointments and processing can take weeks, and you'll usually need supporting documents.
