GEINT

GEINT, or Global Entry International Trust, is a program designed to facilitate the entry of non-U.S. citizens into the United States. It is administered by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and serves as an alternative to the traditional visa application process for eligible travelers. The program is particularly beneficial for frequent travelers who wish to expedite their entry into the U.S.

To be eligible for GEINT, applicants must be citizens of countries that have a visa waiver program with the U.S. and must meet specific criteria, including having a valid passport, a clean criminal record, and no outstanding debts to the U.S. government. The application process involves submitting an online application, providing biometric information, and undergoing a background check.

Once approved, participants can use the GEINT kiosks at select airports to complete their entry process quickly and efficiently. The program offers several benefits, including expedited clearance through customs and immigration, access to TSA PreCheck, and the ability to use Global Entry kiosks. However, it is important to note that GEINT does not grant the right to work in the U.S. or extend the duration of stay beyond the visa waiver period.

GEINT is a valuable tool for international travelers seeking a more streamlined entry process into the United States. By meeting the eligibility requirements and completing the application process, eligible individuals can enjoy the convenience and efficiency of the program.
