CBP opens Global Entry enrollment center at Pier 4 in San Juan
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the opening of a Global Entry Enrollment Location at Pier 4 at the San Juan Seaport, for applicants who have been conditionally approved to complete the interview portion for the traveler program.
Located at Pier 4 in the San Juan Seaport, the Enrollment Location will provide conditionally approved cruisers with the opportunity to complete the interview portion of their Global Entry application.
“This marks a significant milestone as enrollment centers are typically offered in airports, making this the first of its kind in Puerto Rico to be offered at a cruise port,” said Roberto Vaquero, director of Field Operations for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
“Conditionally Approved Global Entry applicants will be able to walk in for the interview without the need for an appointment,” he added.
The Global Entry Location at Pier 4 will operate from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., coinciding with the arrival of vessels Mardi Gras and Nieuw Amsterdam. Additionally, the Enrollment Location will operate on March 23 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. as the cruise Valiant Lady is in port.
Successful Global Entry applicants also receive the benefit of the TSA PreCheck program. Travelers must be pre-approved for all Trusted Traveler programs, including Global Entry. All applicants undergo rigorous and recurring background checks and complete an in-person interview before enrollment.
