How long does it take to obtain a US visa for a British citizen?

Good news. As a British citizen, assuming you’re visiting for under 90 days, you don’t need a visa. You can apply through the Visa Waiver Program under the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization).

From the US Embassy in London:

British citizens: please note that from 12 January 2009 all nationals
and citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries – including the UK
– will be required by law to obtain an ESTA travel authorization prior to traveling to the United States under the VWP. Our Visa section has
full details of this on their Visa Waiver Program & ESTA.

It’s very easy to apply, costs $14, and is valid for 2 years.

You can apply for it online. I’ve done two applications in the past 4 years, and both were approved within days (normally immediately, but the first time had some issue with their system confirming payment had gone through).
