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.
