For those who have been on the fence about gettinf Global Entry and travel with kids...looky looky!! This is awesome! 🙍🏾♀️🙍🏾♂️✈️
Global Entry applicants under the age of 18 are now exempt from the application fee if a parent or legal guardian is already a member or is also applying for Global Entry.
Starting yesterday, the application fee for a five-year Global Entry membership for adults now costs $120. This marks the first Global Entry price increase since 2009. Under the new rule, a family of four that includes two kids will pay only $240 to apply for Global Entry ($120 for each adult, $0 for each child under 18).
Like Global Entry, the application fees for Nexus and SENTRI, two of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's other Trusted Traveler Programs, are also now $120, but children under the age of 18 can apply for free.
Nexus is a joint program managed by the CBP and the Canada Border Services Agency that allows expedited processing between the U.S. and Canada, while SENTRI does the same between the U.S. and Mexico.
Will you take advantage of the lack of application fees for your kids?
