document announces that U.S. citizens 

who participate in Global Entry or U.S. 

citizens who can utilize Global Entry 

kiosks as NEXUS or SENTRI 

participants have the option to apply for 

membership in Panama Global Pass, the 

Republic of Panama’s trusted traveler 

program. 

DATES: The expansion of eligibility to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Global Entry Program 

Global Entry is a voluntary program 

that allows for the expedited clearance 

of pre-approved, low-risk travelers 

arriving in the United States at Global 

Entry kiosks located at designated 

airports. CBP issued the final rule that 

promulgated the regulation to establish 

Global Entry as an ongoing voluntary 

regulatory program in the Federal 

Register (77 FR 5681) on February 6, 

2012. The final rule contains a detailed 

description of the program, the 

eligibility criteria, the application and 

selection process, and the initial airport 

locations. See 8 CFR 235.12. Travelers 

who wish to participate in Global Entry 

must apply via the Global On-Line 

Enrollment System (GOES) Web site, 

https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov, and pay 

the applicable fee. Applications for 

Global Entry must be completed and 

submitted electronically. 

Eligibility for participation in Global 

Entry is limited to U.S. citizens, U.S. 

nationals, U.S. lawful permanent 

residents, and certain nonimmigrant 

aliens from countries that have entered 

into arrangements with CBP regarding 

international trusted traveler programs. 

Specifically, the regulation provides 

that certain nonimmigrant aliens from 

countries that have entered into 

arrangements with CBP concerning 

international trusted traveler programs 

may be eligible to apply for 

participation in Global Entry after CBP 

announces the arrangement by 

publication of a notice in the Federal 

Register. The notice will include the 

country, the scope of eligibility of 

nonimmigrant aliens from that country 

(e.g., whether only citizens of the 

foreign country or citizens and noncitizens are eligible) and other 

conditions that may apply based on the 

terms of the arrangement. See 8 CFR 

235.12(b)(1)(ii). In the preamble of the 

Global Entry final rule, CBP recognized 

the existence of previous arrangements 

it had with Mexico and the Netherlands 

regarding the international trusted 

traveler programs and announced that 

Mexican nationals and certain citizens 

of the Netherlands were eligible to 

apply for the Global Entry program. It 

further specified that Mexican nationals 

and citizens of the Netherlands who 

were existing participants in the Global 

Entry pilot would be automatically 

enrolled in the ongoing Global Entry 

program. Additionally, in the preamble 

of the Global Entry final rule, CBP 

recognized that pursuant to a previous 

Federal Register notice,2 participants in 

NEXUS and certain participants in 

SENTRI would still be allowed to use 

the Global Entry kiosks. 

In a notice published in the Federal 

Register (78 FR 48706) on August 9, 

2013, CBP expanded Global Entry 

eligibility to include citizens of the 

Republic of Korea who are participants 

in the Smart Entry System (SES), a 

trusted traveler program for preapproved, low-risk travelers at 

designated airports in the Republic of 

Korea via the use of e-gates; a limited 

number of citizens of the Federal 

Republic of Germany who are 

participants in the Automated and 

Biometrics-Supported Border Controls 

(ABG) Plus, a trusted traveler program 

in the Federal Republic of Germany; a 

limited number of citizens of the State 

of Qatar; and a limited number of 

citizens of the United Kingdom who 

frequently travel to the United States.

traveler program to citizens of the 

Republic of Panama. 

The Republic of Panama 

On February 29, 2012, the U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security, CBP 

and the Ministry of Public Security of 

the Republic of Panama signed a Joint 

Statement regarding the development of 

an international trusted traveler 

initiative. As CBP and the Republic of 

Panama have negotiated the operational 

details and completed the necessary 

infrastructure updates, CBP is now 

ready to announce that, based on the 

Joint Statement, citizens of the Republic 

of Panama are eligible to apply for 

participation in Global Entry. 

In order to participate, citizens of the 

Republic of Panama who apply for 

Global Entry will be required to 

complete the on-line application located 

on the GOES Web site, pay the nonrefundable Global Entry fee, and satisfy 

all the requirements of Global Entry. 

These applicants will be permitted to 

participate in Global Entry only upon 

successful completion of a thorough risk 

assessment by both CBP and the 

Republic of Panama’s Ministry of Public 

Security and completion of an interview 

with CBP. The vetting criteria were 

mutually developed and are consistent 

with each agency’s applicable domestic 

laws and policies. Once the risk 

assessment has been completed, CBP 

will notify the applicants regarding 

whether or not they have been accepted 

into Global Entry. 

Applicants may be denied enrollment 

in the Global Entry program for various 

reasons. An individual who is 

inadmissible to the United States under 

U.S. immigration law or has, at any 

time, been granted a waiver of 

inadmissibility or parole is ineligible to 

participate in Global Entry. 

Applications from such individuals will 

automatically be rejected. Applications 

for Global Entry may also be rejected if 

the applicant has ever been arrested for, 

or convicted of, a criminal offense, or if 

the individual has ever been found in 

violation of customs or immigration 

laws, or of any criminal law. 

Additionally, an applicant will not be 

accepted for participation in Global 

Entry if CBP determines that the 

applicant presents a potential risk of 

terrorism, or criminality (including 

smuggling), or if CBP cannot sufficiently 

determine that the applicant meets all 

the program eligibility criteria. The 

eligibility criteria are set forth in more 

detail in the Global Entry final rule and 

8 CFR 235.12. See also http:// 

www.globalentry.gov. 

U.S. Citizens’ Participation in Panama 

Global Pass 

Pursuant to the Joint Statement, U.S. 

citizens who are Global Entry 

participants or U.S. citizens who can 

utilize Global Entry kiosks as NEXUS or 

SENTRI participants have the option to 

apply for Panama Global Pass 

membership. Panama Global Pass is a 

trusted traveler program in the Republic 

of Panama that uses self-service kiosks 

to offer expedited processing for air 

travelers through clearance formalities 

when entering the Republic of Panama. 

All U.S. applicants must apply for 

Panama Global Pass directly with the 

Government of Panama, be thoroughly 

vetted by both CBP and the Republic of 

Panama and be interviewed by the 

National Immigration Service of Panama 

in the Republic of Panama to complete 

the enrollment process. U.S. applicants 

are required to pay the Panama Global 

Pass non-refundable $100 fee for a fiveyear membership. The Republic of 

Panama will notify the U.S. applicant 

directly about whether he or she was 

approved for Panama Global Pass. More 

information about how to apply for 

Panama Global Pass membership is 

available at http://www.globalentry.gov.
