Which airports around the world accept Global Entry?

Since 2008, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has helped American travelers expedite entry back into the U.S. from abroad at select airports thanks to Global Entry.

Now, this service is available at more than 75 airports (and counting). It is particularly valuable for frequent international travelers because it enables preapproved, low-risk travelers to return to the U.S. via automatic kiosks at select airports.

Global Entry members can scan their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card before a quick fingerprint verification, thus eliminating the need to wait in line to speak with a customs officer.

Global Entry membership also includes access to TSA PreCheck, an expedited security program run by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration.

It enables you to speed through TSA security via a PreCheck-only line, and you don’t have to remove your shoes, laptop, liquids, belt or light jacket.

Global Entry can help users skip long immigration lines and complete the customs process in as little as 45 seconds, per CBP.

Here’s all you need to know about using Global Entry.

Enrollment on Arrival locations

In addition to using Global Entry to pass through U.S. customs, CBP allows travelers who have been conditionally approved for Global Entry to satisfy the interview portion of the application process at 65 (as of October 2023) airports through a process called Enrollment on Arrival.

This service is only available for travelers returning to the U.S. from an international flight. Although appointments are not required, you’ll want to verify the office hours for the airport where you plan to enroll. You can find the hours online.

To locate the appropriate office, “follow the signage directing you to CBP officers who can complete your Global Entry interview during your admissibility inspection,” which should be near the regular customs line per CBP.

In addition to your passport, remember to bring one document showing proof of residency in your specific state, such as a driver’s license, utility bill, rent payment statement or mortgage statement.

If you are considering enrolling in Global Entry, use a credit card offering a statement credit for the $100 application fee.

Bottom line

Global Entry is an investment in your time, which we value as travelers — especially after returning from an international flight often accompanied by long travel days and possible flight delays.

Given its popularity among users, expect to see Global Entry expand to other airports throughout the U.S. and abroad.
