On April 15, 2025, CBP announced a Global Entry (“GE”) partnership with El Salvador, allowing approved low-risk citizens of El Salvador to benefit from expedited arrival processing, reduced wait times, and improved customer experience. As one of CBP’s four Trusted Traveler Programs, GE expediates entry into the United States for millions of passengers a year by providing access to TSA PreCheck for eligible members and offering prompt security screening at participating U.S. airports. The GE application process involves thorough vetting by U.S. and Salvadoran authorities as well as an in-person interview before initial enrollment. Other GE partner countries include Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Croatia, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Japan, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.
