US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has welcomed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as an official Global Entry partner, strengthening travel, trade and security collaboration between the two nations. Saudi Arabia joins 22 international partners whose citizens are eligible to apply for Global Entry membership.
Through Global Entry, preapproved, low-risk travelers enjoy expedited clearance at US airports and access to TSA PreCheck for eligible domestic flights. CBP says Saudi Arabian applicants will undergo rigorous vetting by both US and Saudi Arabian authorities, including an in-person interview conducted by CBP before enrollment.
Saudi Arabian citizens may use the Trusted Traveler mobile application during the Global Entry application process. Once enrolled, Global Entry members may also use the app to confirm their arrival into the USA.
Membership in Global Entry is valid for five years, subject to continuous compliance with all program requirements. Any violation of program terms will result in appropriate enforcement action, including termination of membership.
