To check your application, you have to re-login to the Global Entry application site to check your messages. As of April 2023, the Department of Homeland Security says it can take up to four to six months to receive notification via email that your application status had changed. Once you’ve successfully filled out this questionnaire, (and, they’ll remind you when you get to the end if you’ve missed anything) you’ll go into an approval queue. So, if you can stagger family enrollments into another year, you'll save the fee. Some credit cards, such as the American Express Platinum card or Chase Sapphire Reserve card, will refund your Global Entry fee once per year as part of your card benefits. You should check with your credit card company, too. Also, you’ll need accurate information on your addresses for the past ten years.īy the way, the application costs a non-refundable $100, which you can pay by credit card, so you should review the eligibility requirements before you ante up. Before you log on, you might also make a list of all the countries you have traveled to in the last five years, because they will ask you that. You'll be filling out a fairly extensive questionnaire, and you need to have your passport and driver’s license handy to complete it. The process for getting your Global Entry Trusted Traveler status is fairly simple. Unless you are issued a receipt with an X, you should be able to go through without stopping.Īn X might be issued as a random security check, or because of your customs declaration, or because the machine isn't reading your fingerprints.
The kiosk prints out a receipt which you display as you breeze through the special Global Entry line. You insert your passport, scan your fingerprints, and answer a brief customs declaration questionnaire about anything you might be bringing into the country. In most points of entry at US airports, there are electronic kiosks off to the side of the main immigration line. But, as of a few years ago, there's a way to beat the queues: Global Entry. If you're a frequent international traveler, you know how frustrating it can be to fly home for twelve hours and then have to wait for another hour to get through the immigration lines. Don't lose your Global Entry privileges.Be sure to register your TSA Pre status.
