Australian citizens can apply for the Global Entry program direct through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP). The Global Entry program allows faster immigration and customs clearance for eligible Australians who have been pre-approved when entering the United States.

Successful applicants must meet strict eligibility criteria as set out on the USCBP Global Entry eligibility webpage, and undergo background checks by Australian and United States governments.

For more information on the program please visit the Department of Home Affairs United States Global Entry program webpage [https://www.auscheck.gov.au/about/programs/gep].

While applications can only be made through USCBP, general enquiries can be directed to the Australian Department of Home Affairs at AusCheck@homeaffairs.gov.au.
