Why Choose Global Entry?

Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection program designed to make international and domestic travel easier and more efficient for pre-approved, low-risk travelers. Here’s what you need to know about the benefits and streamlined experience Global Entry offers.

Enhanced Airport Experience

With Global Entry, the airport experience becomes far less stressful. Global Entry members have access to dedicated kiosks at major U.S. airports, which allow expedited entry into the country. Simply scan your passport or U.S. permanent resident card, complete a customs declaration, and you’re on your way – often in a matter of minutes. This bypasses traditional customs lines, reducing wait times significantly.

Additionally, Global Entry membership includes TSA PreCheck, allowing you to skip the standard security line on domestic flights. No need to remove shoes, belts, or laptops from your bag, making your overall airport experience quicker and more comfortable.

Seamless International Travel

For those who frequently travel abroad, Global Entry simplifies re-entry into the U.S. after international trips. The program is especially beneficial for international flights, where passport control lines can be long and time-consuming. With Global Entry, you’re able to quickly clear customs and start enjoying your trip back home with minimal delay.

Simple Application Process

The application process for Global Entry is straightforward. You’ll begin by filling out an online application through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website. After a background check, you’ll be asked to schedule an in-person interview at a designated Global Entry Enrollment Center. Once approved, you’ll receive a Known Traveler Number, granting you access to all the perks of Global Entry, including TSA PreCheck.

Though there is an application fee, the time saved and reduced stress during travel make it a worthwhile investment for frequent travelers.
