The Fee for Global Entry Is Increasing — Here's How Much It'll Cost
02.04.2024 - 19:13 / travelandleisure.com
The federal government will raise the cost of the popular Global Entry program this fall for the first time in more than 15 years.
Starting Oct. 1, the application fee for Global Entry will increase to $120, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Currently the cost is $100.
“As these programs have matured and expanded, updating the fee structures is critical to the continuation and management of the programs,” CBP wrote in a statement.
While the fee may be going up, CBP said when it does, applicants under 18 will be exempt from an application fee if a parent or legal guardian is already a member of the program or applying themselves.
Global Entry is part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Trusted Traveler programs and allows travelers who are re-entering the United States from an international trip to expedite the customs process. To apply, travelers must undergo a background check and complete an in-person interview, which can be done when they return to the U.S. through the Enrollment on Arrival program or even when they leave through the new Enrollment on Departure program at Washington Dulles International Airport.
Travelers who obtain a Global Entry membership also receive the benefits of TSA PreCheck.
Several credit cards will reimburse card holders for the application fee, including those from American Express, Capital One, Bank of America, and Chase.
In addition to increasing the application cost for Global Entry, application fees for the NEXUS and SENTRI programs, which allow expedited security when entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico’s land borders, respectively, are also changing.
The fee for NEXUS will increase from $50 to $120, while the fee for SENTRI will change from an “a la carte” fee structure to a uniform fee of $120.
