The United States government announced Tuesday that Mexican citizens can use the trusted traveler program known as Global Entry, which operates via self-service kiosks at selected international airports.
The program is expected to be running in the first six months of 2012.
Currently Global Entry kiosks currently exist in 20 U.S. airports, but in 2012 several more are expected to be installed in Mexico City and in the Mexican resort area of Los Cabos.
To sign up for the program, an application must be filed online at www.globalentry.gov along with payment of a non-refundable $100 fee.
When an application is approved, the interested party is interviewed by CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) , who will decide whether they will be accepted.
