The Croatian Ministry of the Interior has issued an important notice for all citizens planning to travel to the United States.
Croatian nationals are now eligible to apply for the US Global Entry programme, provided they meet the criteria of a low-risk traveller.
Croatia is now an official partner in the Global Entry programme. This partnership allows Croatian citizens to apply for membership, giving them access to expedited border control when entering the United States for tourism or business purposes.
Global Entry is a trusted traveller programme managed by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It allows pre-approved, low-risk travellers to benefit from quicker entry procedures at US airports.
“Members can use special kiosks at most major US airports, bypassing the usual queues and customs forms. In addition, the Global Entry app allows travellers to confirm their arrival using their iOS or Android device before entering customs,” MUP said in their statement.
The programme also includes access to TSA PreCheck, providing faster security screening for domestic and international departures from US airports.
Applicants must not be inadmissible to the United States under current immigration laws, provide accurate and complete information on the application, have no criminal convictions in any country, not be under investigation by law enforcement agencies in any country and have no history of violating customs, immigration or agricultural regulations.
The application fee is 120 US dollars and is non-refundable, regardless of approval. Children under 18 can apply for free if accompanied by a parent or guardian who is already a member.
