Not happy that they have charged me $140.00 aust then ive also had to pay $33aust to esta on top
So essentially you have charged 140$ to submit a form i filled out when i could have just gone to the Government site direct especially since i had to pay them separately on top.
Bit of a scam dont you think.
Dont use a third party web site. Just go to the official site.

This is a scam, avoid!
This is a scam, this website tries to convince you that this is the official US government ESTA application process, while it is not. In addition to the official fee, they charge an outrageous service fee for just forwarding your application.

A bunch of crooks
A bunch of crooks! They have "gov" look-a-like website that makes you think you are on a official website. And you have to pay 95 usd instead of 21 usd. And all positive reviews look like they have been bought. My advice: pay attention and never do business with this agency!.

Never again
Never again.
Didn’t receive ESTA, no sign of it on website. No email confirmation. Charged 3 times the price as on official website. My advice download the app & book ESTA from there.

Hi Julie,
I’m sorry to hear about your experience—it sounds frustrating. The email address you provided via Trustpilot doesn’t match any records in our system, so it’s possible this may relate to a different company as our system does send out confirmation emails for every application. If you’d like, please submit a form on our contact page at https://govswift.com/contact-us/ and reference the case number 34904 so we can assist you directly.
Looking forward to helping you,
The GovSwift Team

Do not use any third party website to get an esta/visa
DO NOT USE ANY THIRD PARTY WEBSITES to obtain an ESTA to visit the US. You are literally paying them WAY too much money to do something you can literally do yourself. I missed my flight to LA as my ESTA form wasn't submitted on time. Do not use anything other than the official customs and borders website to obtain an ESTA.
Response from GovswiftOct 15, 2024
Hello Roisin, we’re truly sorry to hear that you missed your flight—that must have been incredibly frustrating. An ESTA can take up to 72 hours to process, which may have contributed to the delay. This is a rare occurrence, and we want to assure you that we take our responsibilities seriously. Our company is dedicated to providing legitimate and reliable services, and we’ve fully refunded our service fee in hopes that this helps in some small way.
If there’s anything else we can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help. - The GovSwift Team
