FROM December 3, UK
passport holders can
register for Global Entry
into the US, where they
will be able to skip long
customs queues and be
privy to clearance if they
have been pre-approved
and are considered low-risk
travellers.
Global Entry is currently
available at 46 US airports
and 13 preclearance
locations. To register, UK
passport holders need to
apply through the UK Home
Office website and pay a
£42 (R908) processing fee.
If the applicant passes the
UK vetting, they will receive
a UK access code, which
applicants will enter when
applying for Global Entry
through the US Customs
and Border Protection’s
(CBP) Global Online
Enrolment System.
The non-refundable
application fee for a five-year
Global Entry membership
is US$100 (R1 432).
Applications must be made
online. Once the application
is approved, a CBP officer
will conduct a scheduled
interview with the applicant
and then make a final
eligibility determination.
