Luckily there are several ways to decrease your wait time and skip the line at US Customs when you fly back from your luxurious stay at Villa Serenity in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In this article, we will discuss two options for your travels. Choose the one that suits you and your family&#8217;s needs. If you have questions about traveling to Jamaica, don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jamaicaoceanviewvilla.com\/contact-us\/\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Global Entry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Global Entry is a pre-approval system for travelers deemed low risk in the US. All US citizens and permanent residents, and citizens of Argentina, India, Colombia, Canada, UK, Germany, Panama, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Mexico, are eligible. Children under 18 are eligible for Global Entry with parental approval.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29814 size-gallery\" src=\"https:\/\/elitebgrowthdevelopment.in\/villaserenity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/global-entry.jpeg\" alt=\"how to apply for Global Entry\" width=\"845\" height=\"684\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">You may be ineligible if you have been convicted of any criminal offense, have pending criminal charges, have been deemed inadmissible to the US, or if the CBP cannot determine if you have low-risk status. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">How to Apply for Global Entry<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Create a<a href=\"https:\/\/ttp.dhs.gov\/?utm_source=google&#038;utm_medium=google&#038;utm_term=(not%2520provided)&#038;utm_content=undefined&#038;utm_campaign=(not%2520set)&#038;gclid=undefined&#038;dclid=undefined&#038;GAID=1421414813.1625328567\"><span class=\"s2\"> Trusted Traveler<\/span><\/a> Programs account.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This account will determine if you are in a low-risk category by asking a series of questions. The website will also determine which membership is best for you. If you are coming from Jamaica, the recommendation will likely be Global Entry.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Pay a $100 non-fundable fee for your application.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Schedule an Interview<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If your application looks good, you will be conditionally approved into the program and be invited to schedule an interview with Customs and Border Protection. You can schedule an interview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/travel\/trusted-traveler-programs\/global-entry\/enrollment-centers\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>. You must schedule an individual interview for everyone in your family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When you go to the interview, don\u2019t forget to bring your valid passport and another form of picture ID. If you are a permanent resident, you need to bring your green card.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Mobile Passport<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The Mobile Passport App is a partially free app that takes minutes to download. Unlike Global Entry, which requires an interview and fees, Mobile Passport will take minutes to set up. If you have an apple device, download the app <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/mobile-passport-officially-authorized-by-cbp\/id907024887\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=us.mobilepassport\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a> for Android. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29817 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/elitebgrowthdevelopment.in\/villaserenity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mobile_Passport.jpeg\" alt=\"How to apply for mobile passport\" width=\"800\" height=\"279\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The cost to use Mobile Passport to store your passport and personal information is $14.99\/year or $4.99\/month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The Mobile Passport is available in 29 US Passports and four cruise ports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">What You Need to Set Up Your Account<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Passport<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Personal Information<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">How to Set up Your Account in 4 Easy Steps<\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Click on the airplane icon, which will lead to where you can enter your traveler information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">You will be asked to scan your passport on your phone.
