What do I need to do to complete Global Entry on Arrival? Through this program, travelers could alternatively complete Global Entry on Arrival, a program that allows travelers returning to the United States from an international trip to complete their interview with Customs and Border Control in select airports, no appointment needed.
However, if travelers have filed an application, fee, and background check and have received preliminary approval-and they have international travel coming up-they can complete Global Entry on Arrival. One of the biggest holdups is securing an interview. But due to high demand for travel and a backlog of interviews following a seven-month pandemic scheduling pause, the current processing time for Global Entry is taking up to 18 months. Getting Global Entry includes submitting an application, paying the $100 fee (free with some credit cards), undergoing a background check, and sitting through an in-person interview after a preliminary approval. It’s a typically faster process than the regular customs line, which can sometimes take hours. Those with Global Entry can access a separate line where they can breeze through customs in minutes. That’s where Global Entry comes in handy. After a long day of travel, possibly spent navigating multiple layovers or crammed into a middle seat, the last thing you want to do is wait hours in a painfully long customs line.
