What is the Global Entry Program?

The Global Entry program is the US government’s fast track border crossing program for frequent flyers. The Global Entry pass expedites travel for predetermined low risk US citizens entering the United States from international airports. Global Entry membership is valid for 5 years. If you only fly between the US and Canada, you should download the Global Entry Card Application.

Global Entry Decision Times

It may take between 1 and 3 months to receive a decision on your eligibility as a Trusted Traveler. Once you receive a decision you must book and attend a compulsory interview in order to complete the process.

Global Entry Program Requirements

Global Entry card is given to low risk travelers whose personal data has been subject to numerous checks by US border officials and law enforcement agencies. Global Entry is open to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, Dutch citizens, and Mexican nationals. Canadian citizens and residents may enjoy Global Entry benefits through membership in the NEXUS program. Your permanent resident card must be machine readable in order for it to work at the Global Entry pass kiosk. You can renew your PR card if it is not machine readable before applying for the Global Entry program.

You can only use your Global Entry pass if all members traveling with you also have passes or if you decide to exit alone using your Global Entry card at Global Entry airports.

US customs and border authorities and law enforcement agencies run checks to determine if you have a criminal or immigration violation against you. These checks are repeated every time you use your Global Entry card. Any traveler with a criminal record or immigration violation will be automatically denied from the program.

You will be denied access to the Global Entry program if any of the following apply to you:

	Provide false or incomplete information on the application;
	Have been convicted of any criminal offense or have pending criminal charges to include outstanding warrants;
	Have been found in violation of any customs, immigration, or agriculture regulations or laws in any country;

	documentation;
