What is Global Entry?
Global Entry, a program by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, lets pre-approved travelers breeze through customs using exclusive kiosks at select U.S. airports—skipping long lines for a faster and smoother reentry.
How Does It Work?
-
Skip the Lines: When you arrive back in the U.S., you can use a Global Entry kiosk to speed through customs.
-
Who Can Apply: U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, and people from a few other countries are eligible.
-
How to Apply: Fill out an online form, pass a background check, and go to an in-person interview at a Global Entry enrollment center.
-
Bonus Perk: Global Entry also includes TSA PreCheck, which makes airport security faster for domestic flights.
It’s a great option if you travel internationally often—it saves time and makes returning home much easier.
Why Should You Get Global Entry?
Global Entry helps you skip long lines and crowded customs areas. If you travel a lot, it saves time and reduces stress—so you can get home or on to your next destination faster and more smoothly.
