What is Global Entry?
Global Entry is a Customs Border Protection (CBP) Program that allows low-risk, well-vetted travelers to receive facilitated clearance upon arrival into the United States . Members of the program are allowed to skip the paperwork and processing lines and use selected kiosks at designated airports. Currently there are approximately 42 airports that participate in the program. In addition Global Entry members are automatically enrolled in TSA PreCheck. Travelers participating in the program are also allowed to use NEXUS lanes and kiosks and SENTRI dedicated lanes when entering into the U.S. Global Entry membership is valid for five years. After completing an online form, applicants need to undergo thorough background check and an in-person interview to finalize the enrollment process. Once enrolled, Global Entry participants can go straight to the kiosks, make any customs declaration and have their fingerprints and passport/permanent resident card scanned before they can proceed to baggage claim and the exit.
