Sending the Mrs and her pal to New York for their 40th birthday, where do I get a visa?
Do they need one?
I thought up to date passports were all that was needed
you need API [or something]it's a free online thing now
You need an ESTA

No visa required for UK passport holders... under the [url= http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html ]Visa waiver programe[/url]
You do need to fill in an [url= http://cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta/ ]Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) [/url]
Don't be conned into paying for these THEY ARE FREE but there are loads of dodgy websites offering to do it for a fee
cheers chaps.

True.. just do bear in mind that this is not wholly applicable even if you've ever been [i]arrested[/i], let alone charged.
Just saying, that's all. 🙂
WE filled ours in on the plane and handed it in to customs guy to stamp on arrival, BA handed them out during the flight.
You now HAVE to fill in the ESTA on line, however at present they are still making people fill in the green I95 (!? I think) that you complete on the plane for some reason they are still duplicating it.
Remember though the ESTA is free (as mentioned above already) loads of places are charging £20!!
I was in the states 2 weeks ago.
As above, fill out the ESTA online (it's free).
Then you'll get given a green card on the plane to fill out too, same info again (so take a copy of the address where you're staying etc. on the plane, so you can fill it out).
Ah maybe that's what it was we filled in, can't remember getting an ESTA or Visa.
IA we were in States 2 weeks ago too .. it sucks to be home!!!!
