Isn't it pretty normal for a lot of countries to require proof of prearranged room and board, in addition to departure flights, to utilize tourist visa?

EDIT: You lot downvote the most innocent shit. God forbid someone ask a question about typical international policy if it involves Americans.

The article doesn't explicitly say that, but it did say the authorization they tried to use only typically covers visits lasting a few days, not several weeks...

"WHO SHOULD APPLY? Your travel is for 90 days or less"

I'd say 5 weeks is well within the scope of esta.
