U.S. Global Entry Programme Excludes African Nations
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has published the eligibility requirements for its Global Entry Programme, confirming that citizens from 22 countries can apply for this trusted traveller scheme.
The programme is designed for pre-approved, low-risk travellers to expedite their passage through U.S. customs and border control. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, although minors can enroll with parental consent.
However, the list notably excludes any African nations, meaning citizens from countries such as Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa remain ineligible for Global Entry membership, regardless of their travel history. This exclusion has significant implications for millions of travellers who frequently visit the United States and could benefit from the expedited entry process.
