Congress approved the hike in July, which will see the fee go up from $21 (£16). The new charge, written into a reconciliation bill, will take effect from 30 September.
It drew criticism earlier this year from the US Travel Association, which described it as a "self-imposed tariff".
"These fees are not reinvested in improving the travel experience and do nothing but discourage visitation at a time when foreign travellers are already concerned about the welcome experience and high prices," said president and chief executive Geoff Freeman.
It follows a 50% increase in the Esta fee in 2022, when it went up from $14 (£11) to $21 (£16).
It means that in just three years, Esta fees have gone up by $26 (£19) – nearly triple.
