Entering the US on an ESTA you can:
6 weeks would probably be regarded as a lengthy time for any of the above situations, and if you do too many of such trips, you might be refused entry if the border official suspects you are actually working/setting up a business etc etc
- Consult with business associates
- Attend a scientific, educational, professional, or business convention or conference
- Settle an estate
- Negotiate a contract

If you do need a work visa look into an L1 but you'll have to be employed for more than 1 year by the connected entity abroad (i.e. Span). I know people who live in the UK full time but do stints in the US on an L-1A with no intent to move here but larger requirements than an ESTA/B1
thanks man

why is that peculiar? An L1 allows someone to come and work here (they don’t have to be employed locally), not just do the limited things that a VW-B or a B1 allow. For someone who needs to work here for limited periods it is probably one of the the only options. I know people who have no desire to move here and who’s employer / role requires them to spend some time here. Some people may even have to get a L1 as a single use visa...
“Living” here on a visitor visa is not a good idea... CBP will likely think he is working here if his trips are 4-6 weeks, and spending that much time here will likely make him a US tax resident.
For a time I came very frequently on VW-B, 1-2 times a month sometimes more, but my trips were usually a week or less, sometimes only 1 night... I had monthly meetings at 2 of our US offices and then went back to Europe to work.
The frequency of VW-B is unlikely to be an issue, it shows you are coming and leaving and have something to go back to, spending a large amount of time here is likely to raise red flags at some point.

there is no visa requirement for a green card... an employer can apply for a green card for a future employee. people often make that mistake, you don’t move from an L1a to an EB1c, the requirements may be similar, but you can apply for either independently of each other.. the L1a is generally faster so most employers do that first to move someone and then file for the GC.

We are probably discussing situations which are waaaaaaayyyyy more than the OP has been considering.
After all he was only enquiring about ESTA as he has never been to the US.
At this point he probably only needs to know that his plan of 6 weeks in the US, back for a while in the UK and then out again to the US, repeat as necessary is not going to work long term.

Your passport hasn’t changed, you are still a British citizen. Where you live is of little relevance in this case. You first apply for an ESTA approval with your British passport, just as you would do if you lived in Watford or Inverness.

Thanks for all the replies but yes all I needed to know really was the situation with me travelling to the states for my first time from Spain being a Spanish resident, so I’m assuming the ESTA is the way forward for now which lasts for 2 years which gives me time to get my feet on the ground in the states and no doubt I will learn which way to go forward from that

Hi all,
I am British living in Spain and have recently gained my Spanish residency, I will be needing to travel back and forth to California soon and I have never been to the states before.
does anybody know how it works with regards to the ESTA application for entering the states as a Spanish resident ? Is it the ESTA that I will need or is it something different ?
thank you for any answers and information in advance

I don't know how this would work in practice, or how widespread such use of L1 is. I am curious-- for L-1 extension, you generally need to enclose pay stubs from the petitioning entity.
