Do I need a visa to visit USA from UK?

[Momentumista]

I am confused by information online - it seems to suggest the 'visa waiver' applies (i.e. no visa needed?) if I have a e-passport and my visit is for a holiday under 90 days (it is).

Can anyone who knows about this please advise?
Many thanks.

You need an ESTA, go to the official website and apply esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

There is a charge for it but not very much.

Looks to be true but you still need an ESTA

You will need an ESTA if you're going on holiday. They're not too expensive and last for 3years. You apply for them online.

Haha! Crossed posts with a few

OK thanks, will get an ETSA.
I was unsure if an ETSA was synonymous with a visa

The ESTA is the visa-waiver document.

You definitely need an ePassport to apply for the ESTA. If you don't have an ePassport you need to apply for a visa.

Official advice here

$14 and lasts for 2 years, you must have it at least 72 hours before travel,
