People who have an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), to enter the United States must take into account some particularities. One of these points of said visa exemption program is the number of times that it allows to enter that country per year.
According to the official site dedicated to this procedure, those who have this permit may visit the United States an unlimited number of times during the validity of the permit, which is two years.
The retention period is 90 days each time. Although, there are certain singularities that should be taken into account.

The first clarification is that the person does not have to return to their country of origin in that period, but must have left the United States.
How many times a year can I enter the United States with the ESTA?
Let’s cite this example: if a person who has an ESTA stays 40 days in the United States, then travels to Mexico for 30 days and returns to the US, they only have to stay 20 days, since time in Mexico is counted. That is, you can only enter twice in those 90 days.
It should also be noted that you cannot leave the United States briefly and then return.

Who can request the ESTA
To request the ESTA, the person must have a valid passport from one of the countries that make up the visa exemption.
In the case of people who are natives of other countries and who have dual citizenship in one of those countries, they are also included.
A very frequent example is that of Latin Americans who have a Spanish, Italian or other European passport, because they are direct descendants of European immigrants.
