  Don’t think you need anything other then to do some online form for visa waiver countries. Check the US Consulate website in Australia.

  Hi,
  You’ll definitely need a passport. If you’re on an Australian passport, you’ll be eligible for the Visa Waiver – it can be completed online here: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ ($14 fee).

  does the visa waiver have to be filled out within 72hours of departure or prior to 72hours of departure? I leave to go in a month and just wanted to organise it. Thanks.

  When do I need to apply for a travel authorization?

  Applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel to the United States. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that travel authorization applications be submitted at least 72 hours prior to travel. Unless revoked, travel authorizations are valid for two years from the date of authorization, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

  Jd – you need the passport first to apply for the visa waiver.

  Visa waivers need to be completed 72 hours or longer before travelling – if you leave it too late their systems don’t always recognise it, so it can be extra hassle at the airport and the airlines won’t let you on board if it looks like it hasn’t been completed. Best to do it now while it’s fresh in mind :) ~Beks

  Do i need to print anything out or can they see that I have submitted it when I check in. Also when I completed it I put the wrong flight number down but I have gone back in and updated it to the right one. Is that still alright

  nah you don’t need to print it off, i did however, they didn’t need it, it automatically goes on your passport, ie. when it gets scanned or whatever your details of the waiver pop up in their system… Yeh if you’ve updated your flight details I don’t think it’ll be a problem.
