Esta, new passport and USA quick trip

[mrsterryn]

USA does have Australia on the "you don't need six months on your passport " . I have checked on the updated Jan 2024 list from USA .
This is just a question about what happens antedocally not what is supposed to happen .
Has anyone been denied at Sydney airport with less than six months on their passport travelling to USA ? Probably Qantas maybe Hawaiian
Question:
April 2024 current esta expires , need to renew . Is there any issues with an esta being applied for, for passport that only has validity for four months
June 2024 - quick trip to USA
August 2024 - passport expires

Wasn't really wanting to get a new passport early just to have a few days in USA
Hope this makes sense

I took the now-Teen on a trip to the USA when she had less than 6 months validity left (and I wanted to squeeze every possible day out of that 5-year passport!).
No issues departing Aus or arriving in the US.

The ESTA will just be valid for the 4 months, and expire with the passport.

There’s no way I would not renew your ESTA as it runs out in April, and you’re travelling in June. Asking to be denied checking in.

Yes and that is why I was querying if there was any dramas with getting an esta for four months

No issues, will just expire at the same time as the passport.
Won't raise any flags with border agents.
