On October 27, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is now an official Global Entry partner. Saudi Arabian citizens may use the Trusted Traveler mobile application during the Global Entry application process.
Through Global Entry, preapproved, low-risk travelers receive expedited clearance at U.S. airports and access to TSA PreCheck for eligible domestic flights. CBP said that Saudi Arabian applicants “will undergo rigorous vetting by both U.S. and Saudi Arabian authorities, including an in-person interview conducted by CBP before enrollment.”
Saudi Arabia joins 22 international partners whose citizens are eligible to apply for Global Entry membership: Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Germany, India, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.
