U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced Tuesday that El Salvador has officially joined the Global Entry program, becoming the 20th country to partner with the United States in a key initiative to streamline international travel and enhance border security. The agreement allows eligible Salvadoran citizens to apply for expedited entry into the U.S. through Global Entry, a program designed for pre-approved, low-risk travelers.

The partnership is intended to facilitate more efficient travel while maintaining rigorous security standards. Salvadoran applicants must undergo strict vetting processes by both U.S. and Salvadoran authorities, including background checks and an in-person interview with a CBP officer. Once approved, members can use automated kiosks at select U.S. airports to expedite their entry. Any violation of the program’s terms may result in removal from Global Entry and other enforcement actions.
In addition to streamlining travel, the agreement is also expected to promote stronger economic and diplomatic ties between the two nations. Officials noted the partnership will encourage bilateral trade and tourism, while also creating new investment opportunities. The initiative is part of a broader effort by both governments to bolster collaboration on travel and border management.
