Tighter screening processes imposed on people travelling to the United States on the Visa Waiver Program (ESTA).


The United States plans to impose tightened screening measures on travellers from European countries, Australia and various other countries due to the “growing concern over the rising number of Islamist militants who have fought in Syria and hold Western passports”.

Nationals of specific countries travelling to the United States on the ESTA will be required to disclose additional information prior to boarding their flight, such as passports held from multiple countries, or the use of alternate names or aliases. The Department of Homeland Security claims that this data will help enable more accurate screening against US terrorism watch lists.
