U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION (CBP) GLOBAL ENTRY EXPANDED

August 12, 2016

CBP has announced an expansion of its Global Entry International Trusted Traveler Program, which will allow open enrollment for all British citizens capable of providing valid documentation of British citizenship, such as a valid United Kingdom passport. The expansion comes after the conclusion of a 2013 pilot program which permitted certain British citizens to enroll in U.S. Global Entry. As part of the expansion, a number of U.S. citizens will be similarly eligible to enroll in the United Kingdom’s Registered Traveler program, as long as the enrollee is at least 18 years old and either has a British visa, or has visited the United Kingdom at least four times within the last year. The expansion of both programs was announced on July 6, 2016 and will continue indefinitely.
