The Guam-Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Electronic Travel Authorization (G-CNMI ETA) is an automated system used to determine the eligibility of visitors to travel to Guam or the CNMI under the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and whether such travel poses any law enforcement or security risk.

If both your countries of citizenship are G-CNMI VMP-eligible, then we strongly recommend you choose which one you want to claim for purposes of travel to the U.S. (Guam or the CNMI), and use that country's passport each time you travel. One person with two different G-CNMI ETA authorizations creates confusion that will only delay your travel.

*If you obtain a new passport or change your name, or country of citizenship, you will be required to apply for a new travel authorization. This is also required if one of your answers to any of the G-CNMI VWP eligibility questions changes.
Note: CBP recommends that you apply for G-CNMI ETA at the time you book your travel, but no less than five days prior to boarding.
Applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel to Guam or the CNMI. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that travel authorization applications be submitted at least five days 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.

DHS will then maintain this information for an additional five years after which it will be archived for ten years to allow retrieval of the information for law enforcement, national security, or investigatory purposes. Once the information is archived, the number of officials with access to it will be further limited. This retention is consistent both with CBP's border search authority and with the border security mission mandated for CBP by Congress. Data linked to active law enforcement lookout records, CBP matches to enforcement activities, and/or investigations or cases, including applications for G-CNMI ETA that are denied, will remain accessible for the life of the law enforcement activities to which they are related.
", "faq.privacySecurity.question03": "Is my information shared with anyone?", "faq.privacySecurity.answer03": "The information collected by and maintained in G-CNMI ETA may be used by other components of DHS on an official need-to-know basis consistent with the component's mission.
Under current agreements between DHS and the Department of State (DOS), information submitted during a G-CNMI ETA application may be shared with consular officers of DOS to assist them in determining whether a visa should be issued to an applicant after a travel authorization application has been denied.
Information may be shared with appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, and foreign governmental agencies or multilateral governmental organizations responsible for investigating or prosecuting the violations of, or for enforcing or implementing, a statute, rule, regulation, order or license, or where DHS believes information would assist enforcement of civil or criminal laws. Additionally, information may be shared when DHS reasonably believes such use is to assist in anti-terrorism efforts or intelligence gathering related to national or international security or transnational crime. All sharing will remain consistent with the Privacy Act System of Records Notice, which was published in the Federal Register on June 10, 2008 and is available on the DHS Web site.
While carriers will not receive the G-CNMI ETA application information that travelers provide to DHS, they will receive confirmation of a passenger's G-CNMI ETA status via the Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) indicating whether a G-CNMI ETA is required and whether authorization has been granted.

Access to such information is limited to those with an official need to know. The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) protects the personal information the federal government keeps on United States citizens and legal permanent residents (LPRs) in \"systems of records\" (SOR). A SOR is a group of records that includes personal information an agency controls that is retrieved by the individual's name or some other personal identifier. The Privacy Act regulates how the government can use, disclose, share, provide access to, and maintain the personal information that it collects. DHS, as a matter of policy, extends the administrative rights of the Privacy Act, including the rights of access and amendment, to aliens when dealing with mixed-use systems (systems housing information about both U.S. citizens/LPRs and foreign nationals).

The denial of a travel authorization only prohibits travel under the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program and is not a determination of eligibility for a visa to travel to the U.S. (Guam or the CNMI).

A traveler who is not eligible for G-CNMI ETA is not eligible for travel under the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program and should apply for a nonimmigrant visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Reapplying with false information in order to qualify for a travel authorization will make the traveler permanently ineligible for travel to Guam or the CNMI under the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.
", "faq.unauthorized.question04": "Can I find out the reason my application was denied?", "faq.unauthorized.answer04": "DHS has carefully developed the G-CNMI ETA program to ensure that only those individuals who are ineligible to travel to Guam or the CNMI under the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program, or those whose travel would pose a law enforcement or security risk are refused a travel authorization. While the G-CNMI ETA Web site provides a link to the DHS Travel Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP) Web site, there are no guarantees that a request for redress through DHS TRIP will resolve the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program ineligibility that caused an applicant's G-CNMI ETA application to be denied.
Please note that Embassies and Consulates are not able to provide details about G-CNMI ETA denials or resolve the issue that caused the G-CNMI ETA denial. Embassies and Consulates will be able to process an application for a non-immigrant visa that, if approved, will be the only way that a traveler whose G-CNMI ETA application has been denied would be authorized to travel to the U.S. (Guam or the CNMI).

Information about the appointment process is available at the nearest consular section or on The Department of State website. As a result, travelers are encouraged to apply for a G-CNMI ETA approval far in advance of the proposed travel.
", "faq.traveling.question01": "If approved, does my travel authorization guarantee me admission to the U.S. (Guam or the CNMI)?", "faq.traveling.answer01": "If your electronic travel authorization is approved, this approval establishes that you are eligible to travel to Guam or the CNMI under the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program, but does not guarantee that you are admissible to Guam or the CNMI. Upon arrival in Guam or the CNMI you will be inspected by a Customs and Border Protection officer at a port of entry who will determine inadmissibility under the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program or for any reason under United States law.
", "faq.traveling.question02": "How long is my G-CNMI ETA valid for?", "faq.traveling.answer02": "Unless revoked, travel authorizations are valid for two years from the date of authorization, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. The Authorization Approved screen displays your travel authorization expiration date.
Your G-CNMI ETA is generally valid for multiple trips over a period of two years (starting the date that you are approved) or until your passport expires, whichever comes first*. This means that as long as you received a G-CNMI ETA to travel, you do not have to reapply during the validity period.
If your G-CNMI ETA expires while in the U.S. it will not affect your departure.
Note: It is important to PRINT a copy of the document fo",
"faq.traveling.question03": "Do I need to bring a printout or digital copy of my travel authorization to the airport?",
"faq.traveling.answer03": " No. DHS will be able to communicate a traveler's G-CNMI ETA status to the carriers. However, DHS recommends that travelers print out the travel authorization application response in order to maintain a record of their traveler authorization application number and to have confirmation of their G-CNMI ETA status. U.S. regulation does NOT require a G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (VWP) traveler to present a printed copy of the G-CNMI ETA page in order to travel. However, it is recommended that you print a copy for your records. If you did not receive or cannot locate your application number, you may retrieve the application through the G-CNMI ETA website by entering your passport number, country of citizenship, passport issuance date, passport expiration date, and date of birth. A new travel authorization may be required in any of the following circumstances: Travel authorization approvals will typically be granted for a period of two years or until the applicant's passport expires, whichever is sooner. G-CNMI ETA will provide validity dates upon approval of the application. Therefore, a traveler must apply for a new travel authorization when a prior G-CNMI ETA or an applicant's passport expires. No. G-CNMI ETA travel authorization needs only to be valid upon arrival in the U.S. (Guam or the CNMI) If your G-CNMI ETA has expired, you must reapply by submitting a new application at g-cnmi-eta.cbp.dhs.gov. You do not need to wait until your G-CNMI ETA expires to reapply. You may do so at any time. Should you receive the message "A valid, approved application with more than 30 days remaining has been found for this passport. Submitting this new application will cancel the existing application." you will simply continue to begin your new application. Your prior G-CNMI ETA will be canceled and replaced with your new application. G-CNMI ETA approvals are typically granted for a two-year period or until the applicant's passport expires, whichever is sooner. The approval is good for multiple entries – meaning you may use it for more than one entry into the Guam or the CNMI. G-CNMI ETA provides validity dates upon approval of the application. Yes. You will receive an expiration notice at the email address you provided on your application when your G-CNMI ETA is about to expire. The email will advise recipients to go to the official G-CNMI ETA Web site to reapply. See sample notice below: G-CNMI ETA Expiration Warning?: ATTENTION! Your travel authorization submitted on (date) via G-CNMI ETA will expire within the next 30 days. It is not possible to extend or renew a current G-CNMI ETA. You will need to reapply at https://g-cnmi-eta.cbp.dhs.gov if travel to Guam or the CNMI is intended in the near future. If there are 30 or more days left on the old authorization you will receive a warning message during the application process and be asked if you wish to proceed. As a general rule, your G-CNMI ETA approval is good for multiple entries into the U.S. over a two-year period. Exceptions to this validity period include applicants whose passports will expire before the two year validity period is complete - in which case the G-CNMI ETA approval is only granted until the expiration date of the Passport. The minimum computer configuration includes: You can access any single application in a group by selecting \"Check Individual Status\" under \"Check G-CNMI ETA Status.\" The application number is contained in the confirmation email sent upon successful payment of the application. To retrieve an Individual Application, go to the G-CNMI ETA homepage and click \"Continue Existing Application\" and then \"Check individual Status\". On the next screen, you will then need to enter your passport number, country of citizenship, passport issuance date, passport expiration date, and date of birth. NOTE: Details entered to retrieve an application must exactly match the information entered in the G-CNMI ETA application. Any discrepancy between information entered to retrieve an application and the information entered in the application itself will result in a No Application Found message. There are a number of things that could be causing you problems. Please ensure that your computer meets the minimum configuration requirements. The minimum computer configuration requirement for applying for G-CNMI ETA is an internet browser that supports 128-bit encryption and is able to accept cookies, and has JavaScript enabled. If your computer meets the minimum configuration requirements and you are still having technical problems, then this could be a web browser or fire wall problem. Check your internet security settings - if they are set too high, they may be blocking access to the G-CNMI ETA web site. If that doesn't work try applying from another browser/computer. Finally, some ISPs may be blocked due to spam concerns, and you may have to contact your local internet service provider (ISP) for assistance. If the system will not accept your passport number, try entering it in without any spaces between the numbers. If the system will not accept your phone number, try to enter it again, but do not use any brackets such as ( ) or hyphens - or spaces between the numbers. If the system will not let you go to the next page, the system may have found an error in a required field (such as an invalid Character, skipped a field, etc.) You will not be allowed to continue until these errors have been corrected. If a mandatory field (indicated by a red *) is not filled in properly, the system will continually return you to the current page. The system WILL NOT accept special characters such as ~ or accent marks - even in a name. Use only the English letters, with no special punctuation. Please enter the name as it appears in the machine readable zone (MRZ) of your passport. This is the two lines of text with numbers and chevrons (<<<) at the bottom of the personal information page with the passport bearer's picture. If your computer freezes up and will not let you continue, the problem is most likely with your browser or your computer capacity. You may need to use a different computer. If you are receiving an Error Message that says \"A valid, approved application with more than 30 days remaining has been found for this passport. Submitting this new application will cancel the existing application.\" it is because you have applied previously and have a valid application with more than 30 days validity. If any of the biographical information is incorrect on the existing application, the application is then invalid and you must click \"continue\" to proceed with the new application. If you are still having technical problems, please click on CBP Info Center link at the bottom of the page, click on the \"Ask a Question\" button on the right side of the CBP INFO Center page and submit a help request. You are required to have an email address for us to respond to. If you do not, ask someone who does to help you. Be sure to describe exactly what is happening (in English), and tell us what internet browser you are using and its version. If you are receiving an Error Message that says \"A valid, approved application with more than 30 days remaining has been found for this passport. Submitting this new application will cancel the existing application.\" it is because you have applied previously and have a valid application with more than 30 days validity. If any biographic information is not correct on the existing application, the application is not valid and you must click \"continue\" to proceed with the new application. To apply for a G-CNMI ETA, you must complete an Individual Application. Either select \"New Application\" and then \"Individual Application,\" or select \"Individual Application\" under \"Apply\" in the global menu. In your application, enter all required information labeled with a red asterisk. You will be asked to provide: basic biographic information; information from your G-CNMI VWP eligible passport and other passports; your current or previous employer; your address and point of contact in the United States; and an emergency point of contact. You will also be asked to answer nine security questions. Review Your Application - In Step 6 of the Individual Application process, you can review your answers for accuracy before selecting \"Next\" and submitting your application. To make any corrections, you can select \"Edit\" in the corresponding application section and make updates. Once your updates are made, you can click \"Update,\" then \"Confirm and Continue\" to proceed to Step 7 to \"Submit Application.\" Record Your Application Number - After you complete your application, the system will provide you with an application number in Step 7. Record this application number for your records, however note that your application is still not submitted. To retrieve your application, to check the status, or to update your application, you will be asked to provide your application number, passport number, and date of birth. Submit Application - After reviewing your application summary on Step 7, click \"Submit\" if all information is accurate. Check Your Application Status - An update to your G-CNMI ETA application will usually take place in no more than 5 days. To check your G-CNMI ETA status at any time, go to the G-CNMI ETA website and click \"Continue Existing Application\". On the next screen, click \"Check Individual Status\". You will need to enter either the Passport Number, Date of Birth, and Application Number OR Country of Citizenship, Passport Issuance Date and Passport Expiration Date. The three possible responses to a G-CNMI ETA application are: Diseases Physical or Mental Disorders Drug Abusers and Drug Addicts Yes. Specific travel plans are not mandatory at the time of application, but you will need a U.S. (Guam or the CNMI) point of contact. Although specific travel plans are not required, the address where you will be staying in Guam or the CNMI is recommended to complete the application. If multiple locations are planned, you only need to enter the first address. If a complete address is not known, you can enter the name of the hotel or location you will visit. You will be able to update all data fields prior to submitting your application. Once the application is submitted without making a payment, you will be able to update all data fields except Passport Number, Country of Citizenship, and Issuing Country. If the traveler made a mistake in answering the eligibility questions, please click on the CBP Info Center Link at the bottom of each page. All mandatory fields must be completed. If erroneous information is entered this will not result in a mandatory denial, but may require manual adjudication (therefore additional time) prior to CBP providing a response back to the applicant. Pursuant to Section 214b of the Immigration and Nationality Act, all individuals must demonstrate that they are not intending immigrants into the United States and qualify for visitor or non-immigrant status. Employment information can help demonstrate eligibility under this legal requirement. Since 9/11, the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (VWP) has evolved from a travel facilitation program concerned about the threat of economic migration to one with more robust security standards that are designed to prevent terrorists and other criminal actors from exploiting the Program. The requirement for all VWP travelers to complete an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (G-CNMI ETA) prior to traveling to the United States was introduced by The Secure Travel and Counterterrorism Partnership Act of 2007 (part of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, also known as the \"9/11 Act\") (Pub. L. No. 110-53) to improve the screening of individual travelers from VWP countries. DHS must be agile and vigilant in continually adapting to evolving threats and hazards. DHS has not made a significant upgrade to the G-CNMI ETA application in the six years that the system has been in operation, despite a significant evolution in the terrorist and criminal threats to the United States. DHS has determined that the additional data fields to the G-CNMI ETA application will enhance DHS's ability to screen and more accurately and effectively identify travelers who pose a potential security risk to the homeland. As of November 3, 2014, the additional questions are: G-CNMI ETA does not currently have a sex \"X\" to choose from on the application. It is suggested that the traveler choose from whichever they feel most comfortable. G-CNMI ETA will not be denied solely on the sex chosen on the application. If you don't find your country of issue in the drop down menu, make sure you are selecting the correct country. Your "Country of Issue" is the same as your "Country of Citizenship". For instance, if you are a citizen of the United Kingdom, but are getting your passport from the UK Consulate in Hong Kong, the UK is your country of issue. The UK Consulate may be located in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is not the country issuing you the passport. Otherwise, if you can't find the name of your country of issuance or the country of citizenship, then you probably should not be applying for G-CNMI ETA. Only citizens of countries participating in the G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (VWP) should apply for G-CNMI ETA. If you have dual citizenship and have registered with a G-CNMI ETA, you should use your G-CNMI VWP-eligible passport to board the plane when you leave your country of departure and when you arrive in the U.S. (Guam or the CNMI) If both your countries of citizenship are VWP-eligible, then we strongly recommend you choose which one you want to claim for purposes of travel to the U.S. and use that country's passport each time you travel. One person with two different G-CNMI ETA authorizations creates confusion that will only delay your travel. If you are a citizen of the U.S. and also of a VWP country, you should not be applying for G-CNMI ETA. One of the requirements of being a naturalized U.S. citizen is that you apply for, and use, a U.S. passport for your travels. While we are aware that in some cases naturalized U.S. citizens use their alternate country's passport to travel, our expectation is that you will use the U.S. passport to travel from another country to the U.S. at both points of travel, departing the foreign country and arriving into the U.S. If you have a true emergency, and are unable to obtain a U.S. Passport before your travels, and only have a VWP-eligible passport, then you will have to apply through G-CNMI ETA using that passport to travel to the U.S. When arriving at the U.S. airport using the foreign passport, you will have to use the non-resident queue. Below are some common substitutions in the American English alphabet for unique European letters. You may also refer to the machine readable portion of your passport (with the chevrons <<< >>>) for the universal spelling of your name. For citizens of the United Kingdom: If you have applied for a Post-dated passport that will not be valid until after your marriage, you will not be able to apply for G-CNMI ETA using that passport number until the day of your marriage, when the passport becomes valid. We recommend that you have a friend or relative apply for you if you do not have time between the ceremony and going to the airport. The application process is not complicated and should take no more than 23 minutes. For travelers from other G-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries: If you have received approval to come to Guam or the CNMI, but then change your name as a result of marriage, divorce, or other legal proceeding, you must re-apply for a new G-CNMI ETA prior to travel. While we usually suggest applying 5 days before you travel, we understand that this is one of those circumstances that can make it impossible to do so, and our system will accommodate your situation. If you have a passport under one name, but your name has changed since it was issued, you can submit a new application using your old passport number and old name. The new application should show your name as it appears on your passport, but additionally, in response to the question, \"Are you known by any other names or aliases?\" you should enter your new name. You may travel with a ticket issued in your new name and the passport in your old name, but we strongly recommend you bring a copy of your marriage license, divorce decree or other legal document showing the connection between your new name and the one on your passport. DHS added the following optional question to G-CNMI ETA and to Form I-94W: * \"Please enter information associated with your online presence - Provider/Platform- Social media identifier.\" The question is marked as \"optional\" on the revised G-CNMI ETA application. If an applicant does not answer the question or simply does not hold a social media account, the G-CNMI ETA application can still be submitted without a negative interpretation or inference. No G-CNMI ETA application is guaranteed approval, and an application can be denied for a variety of reasons. Information found in social media will enhance the vetting process and may be used to review G-CNMI ETA applications to validate legitimate travel, adjudicate G-CNMI VWP ineligibility waivers, and identify potential threats. If you choose to answer these questions and an initial vetting by CBP indicates possible information of concern or a need to further validate information, a highly trained CBP officer will have timely visibility of the publicly available information on those platforms, consistent with the privacy settings the applicant has chosen to adopt for those platforms, along with other information and tools CBP officers regularly use in the performance of their duties. For example, social media may be used to support or corroborate a traveler's application information, which will help facilitate legitimate travel by providing an additional means to adjudicate issues related to relevant questions about identity, occupation, previous travel, and other factors. It may also be used to identify potential deception or fraud. Social media may help distinguish individuals of additional concern from those individuals whose information substantiates their eligibility for travel. DHS will handle social media identifiers in the same manner as other information collected through G-CNMI ETA. DHS has documented these procedures in the updated G-CNMI ETA System of Records Notice (SORN) and Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), which are available on the DHS website (www.dhs.gov/privacy). Yes. The system allows for one payment for a group of two or more applications submitted at the same time. The persons in the group are not required to travel together. You can submit a maximum of 50 applications for one payment. The persons in the groups are not required to travel together. There are a number of third parties that have G-CNMI ETAblished websites that charge a fee for submitting your application on your behalf. If you have used one of these third party sites, we strongly suggest you use your application number to confirm with the official U.S. government site to ensure that your G-CNMI ETA is in our system. We recommend you do this because we have no way of knowing if the information passed through the third party website to us is accurate. If it is not, you may have a problem when you arrive in the U.S. For instructions on how to look up your G-CNMI ETA, see the help topic "Checking Your G-CNMI ETA Status". CBP cannot refund the money you paid to a third party website. Prior to submitting an electronic travel authorization application, you can update all application data fields except the passport number, passport issuing country, country of citizenship / nationality and date of birth. Once an application is approved, you can still update any one of the following fields: If you obtain a new passport or there is a change to your passport information, you must apply for a new travel authorization. See What information can I update? for a full listing of information that can be changed after submission of your application. The Web site will allow applicants to review and correct their data prior to submitting the application, including reconfirming the passport number. Prior to submitting an application, you can correct all application data fields except the passport number, passport issuing country, country of citizenship / nationality and date of birth. If an applicant made a mistake on their passport or biographical information he or she will need to submit a new application. Any other mistakes may be corrected or updated by clicking “Check Individual Status” under “Check G-CNMI ETA Status”. If the traveler made a mistake in answering the eligibility questions, please click on the CBP Info Center Link at the bottom of each page. The application number is contained in the confirmation email sent upon successful verification of email address. To retrieve an Individual Application, go to the G-CNMI ETA homepage and click \"Continue Existing Application\" and then \"Check individual Status\". If you do not know your application number, enter your passport number, country of citizenship, passport issuance date, passport expiration date, and date of birth. An applicant can update the Passport Issuance Date or Passport Expiration Date as long as the application has not been submitted. If an applicant enters the wrong Passport Issuance Date or Passport Expiration Date after having submitted for the G-CNMI ETA application, the traveler will need to re-apply for a new travel authorization. The previous application will be canceled. ",
