What is Global Entry?
Global Entry is a U.S. government program that speeds up the arrival process for travelers entering the United States. Members can use automated kiosks at select airports, bypassing traditional customs lines.
How Does Global Entry Work?
Streamlined Entry:
Global Entry allows travelers to bypass standard customs and immigration lines by using dedicated, automated kiosks at select U.S. airports. This significantly reduces wait times when arriving in the United States.
Who Can Apply:
The program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, and citizens of select countries that have arrangements with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Simple Application Process:
To enroll, applicants must complete an online application, undergo a background check, and attend an in-person interview at a designated Global Entry Enrollment Center. Once approved, membership is valid for five years.
Bonus Perk – TSA PreCheck:
Global Entry membership includes TSA PreCheck at no additional cost, allowing for expedited security screening at domestic airports—no need to remove shoes, belts, laptops, or liquids in most cases.
Perfect for Frequent Travelers:
Whether you’re returning from a vacation or a business trip abroad, Global Entry offers a more predictable, hassle-free airport experience. It’s especially valuable for those who travel internationally several times a year.
Why Consider Global Entry?
Global Entry goes beyond just saving time—it enhances your overall travel experience. As airports become increasingly crowded and processing times grow longer, having access to expedited customs clearance helps you avoid stress, long lines, and unnecessary delays.
With Global Entry, you’ll enjoy:
-
Reduced airport congestion and wait times
-
A smoother return to the U.S. after international travel
-
Included TSA PreCheck benefits for faster domestic screening
-
Peace of mind knowing your reentry is faster and more efficient
If you value convenience, efficiency, and a stress-free airport experience, Global Entry is a smart investment in your travel routine.
