Ocala Cruisers Posted May 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ft. Lauderdale has it. Makes a huge difference as to how quickly you get through customs. We have an 11:45AM flight back home. Was wondering if we get out quickly. Thanks for your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted May 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2017 so you are saying that the cruise terminal at Ft. Lauderdale has global entry; to process you thru customs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Rev Posted May 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2017 so you are saying that the cruise terminal at Ft. Lauderdale has global entry; to process you thru customs? Yes. We literally bypassed thousands of people in the regular lines, there were 4 people in front of us.

CruiserBruce Posted May 12, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Global Entry and Mobile Passport are different? Sent from my SGH-M919 using Forums mobile app Yes, they are different. Port Everglades and Port of Miami are the only two ports currently using Global Entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobile Passport - Officially Authorized by CBP by Airside Mobile LLC https://appsto.re/us/3Nbe2.i As of now they only list Port Everglades Sent from my iPhone using Forums Mobile Passport has nothing to do with Global Entry. Vastly different things. MP is a phone app that basically amounts to filling out your declaration form online. If you've got a US passport, you can download it. Global Entry is a fairly selective US CBP vetting process (costing at least $100 for the application and requiring a face-to-face interview at a CBP post like SFO) that can take more than a year and is not an automatic OK. Where it is available, you do get on the usually shorter line. Remember too that GE is only for returning to the US. You'll need "Precheck" to get on the shorter outbound security lines at US airports.

AF-1 Posted May 13, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 13, 2017 If you have Global Entry; you will also have TSA Pre-check too. I have Global Entry and the agent who interviewed me told me that with one price $100 you get two things Global Entry and Pre-Check. So why pay $85 for just pre-check when for $15 more you get both. Let me say: I travel outside the country in my job; so Global Entry for me is a no brainer. My wife does not have it; she only has pre-check.

It does not expedite your return to the US from any other international location like Asia or Europe or South America, etc. Only Global Entry does that.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums To add a little bit of information. Although the Canadian program is called Nexus, when we sign up for it, we automatically sign up for GE. That's why we take a little bit longer to get ours, because the background check is done by both the Canadian authorities and the US authorities and when we go for our interview we get our finger prints done by US authorities to allow us to use GE.

VibeGuy Posted May 13, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Yes, for $50, you get five years of NEXUS, Global Entry and PreCheck. It's kinda magical. Back to the topic: No. Seattle doesn't have GE at Pier 91. That said, depending on the itinerary, the process can be as simple as handing over your blue customs declaration and showing ID.

But, if you are a US citizen (or a Canadian) at a US airport, Nexus does zilch for you (which is why Canadians have some sort of deal to get both Nexus and GE).

VibeGuy Posted May 15, 2017 #18 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Guess I'm an idiot. Guess my years of NEXUS membership don't really get me the Global Entry and Pre Check benefits that I use on the regular. Guess it didn't speed me through US Customs Friday before last or literally while entering the US again today. NEXUS membership for Americans grants Global Entry, Pre Check, NEXUS and SENTRI, as well as serves as the underlying trusted traveler membership required as a prerequisite for Privium, ABTC, ABG+ and Viajero Confiable. So unless you're a US national with NEXUS, stop misinforming people about what it does or doesn't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
