They may apply for an ETA provided they can demonstrate, and it is verifiable, at least ONE (1) entry into the mentioned country in the TWO (2) years preceding the application. Alternatively, they should possess a valid permit issued by the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) or visas B2/J/B1/O/P (P1-P2-P3)/E/H-1B issued by the United States of America.[97]

For further information, see Electronic Travel Authorization.
