How to get your interview at San Diego Airport

  1. Apply for your program at ttp.cbp.dhs.gov. The Global Entry application fee is $120 for 5 years — many travel credit cards reimburse it.
  2. Wait for conditional approval. Most applications are conditionally approved within a few weeks; you can only book an interview after that.
  3. Book the interview — at San Diego Airport or any other center nationwide. When everything looks booked, cancellations still open up daily: set a free alert and grab the next one.
  4. Or skip the appointment entirely with Enrollment on Arrival when landing in the US from abroad — see what to do after conditional approval.
