I have a B1-B2 visa (on my Venezuelan passport) that will expire Oct 12, 2019.

I will not renew that visa and will start using ESTA from now on (I am citizen of Spain also). My question is: When should I apply for ESTA? Before or after my B1-B2 visa expires?

I am traveling this week to the United States and I will travel again in September. Please let me know. Thanks

When do I need to apply? The ESTA rules specify that you need to apply at least 72 hours before you travel.

Can I stay in the US after my B1 B2 visa expires?

You will be able to remain in the United States during your authorized period of stay, even if your visa expires during the time you are in the United States.

Can I apply for a new ESTA before the old one expires?

You may apply for a new ESTA at any time, even before your current one expires. Your previous ESTA information will be invalidated and a new travel authorization number will be issued when you apply for the new ESTA.It is not possible to recover invalidated ESTA information.
