Webinar: ESTA Business Travel – Avoiding Arrest & Detention at the US Border

In this one-hour webinar, our panel of US immigration experts explain the US ESTA business travel rules.

With tighter screening, more data sharing and closer scrutiny of repeat visitors, it is now far easier for business travelers to run into trouble at the border, even where there was no intent to breach the rules.

This video is for organizations that regularly send staff to the US for meetings, training, client engagements, conferences or project oversight, as well as travelers who want to avoid issues at the border.

 

Watch as we cover:

 

  • What activities are allowed and not allowed under ESTA
  • What business travellers can expect during U.S. immigration inspection at the border/Port of Entry
  • Are there ‘good’ airports and ‘bad’ airports when flying into the United States
  • What training and legal authority do border agents have
  • How to prepare for questions, device checks, or secondary screening
  • How to reduce the risk of refusals or detentions
  • What to do if an employee is detained
  • When a work visa or pre-clearance routing may be the safer option

 

If you have specific questions about traveling to the US on business under ESTA, why not book a fixed-fee telephone consultation and put your queries direct to one of our US attorneys.
