- Access to expedited entry benefits in other countries
- Available at major U.S. airports

- Apply Online: Fill out an online application (https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov) and pay the $100 non-refundable application fee. (Please apply before 12/31/2015 in order for CBP to have sufficient time to review your application.)
- Schedule an Interview: Once your application is reviewed, you will receive a message in your GOES account instructing that your application is "Conditionally Approved" and to schedule an interview at one of the Global Entry Enrollment Centers.
