Upon landing at a designated airport, simply locate the EoA booth within the Federal Inspection Services (FIS) area. This booth is typically located in the international arrivals terminal.

Benefits of EoA:

• No pre-scheduled appointment: With EoA, you don't need to schedule an appointment in advance. You can complete your interview right after landing, saving you time and hassle.
• Same-day approval: Upon successful completion of the interview, you may receive conditional approval for Global Entry on the spot.
• Expedited entry: Once approved, you'll enjoy expedited entry through Global Entry kiosks at participating airports, bypassing long lines and reducing your wait time.

Eligibility for EoA:

To be eligible for EoA, you must:

• Have been conditionally approved for Global Entry
• Be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or citizen of a Global Entry partner country

Process for EoA:

1. Locate the EoA booth: Upon landing at a participating airport, head to the FIS area and locate the EoA booth.
2. Present your documentation: Bring your passport, Global Entry interview confirmation, and any other required documents.
