SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2026 — Peninsula Visa, a trusted leader in immigration and visa processing services with over 50 years of expertise, today announced the launch of its full-service Global Entry application and renewal assistance program. The service covers every step of the Global Entry process — from creating the applicant's Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) account through final CBP interview scheduling — so travelers can focus on their trip rather than the paperwork.
What Is Global Entry?
Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler Program that allows pre-approved, low-risk travelers to bypass standard customs and immigration lines when returning to the United States from abroad. Members use dedicated Global Entry kiosks at major U.S. international airports for rapid, automated processing — cutting typical arrival wait times from 30–60 minutes to under five minutes.
Global Entry membership also includes TSA PreCheck at no additional cost, providing expedited domestic security screening. Members keep their shoes on, laptops in their bags, and liquids in their carry-on — and move through dedicated TSA PreCheck lanes at over 200 U.S. airports. Membership is valid for five years and can be renewed before expiration.
Peninsula Visa's End-to-End Service
Global Entry's application process involves multiple steps across government systems that can be confusing, time-consuming, and easy to get wrong. Peninsula Visa manages the entire process on behalf of the applicant, handling every step from account creation through interview scheduling:
The Three-Phase Process
- Phase 1 — Application Preparation & Submission (3–5 Business Days): Peninsula creates the applicant's Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) online account, completes the full CBP application using the applicant's information, reviews all details for accuracy, pays the $120 government fee on behalf of the applicant, and submits the application to CBP.
- Phase 2 — Government Review & Conditional Approval (Typically 2–8 Weeks): CBP conducts a comprehensive background check and review of travel history. This phase is managed entirely by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Peninsula monitors the application status and notifies the applicant immediately when Conditional Approval is received.
- Phase 3 — Interview Scheduling & Completion: Once Conditional Approval is issued, Peninsula schedules the applicant's in-person interview at a nearby Global Entry Enrollment Center. The interview is brief — typically 10–15 minutes with a CBP officer. Upon approval, Global Entry membership activates immediately and is valid for five years.

Why Choose Peninsula Visa
Global Entry's online application system requires applicants to navigate CBP's Trusted Traveler Programs portal, accurately complete a detailed background questionnaire, pay the non-refundable government fee, and then coordinate interview scheduling — all without guidance.

Leadership Perspective
"Global Entry is one of the best investments a frequent traveler can make. The combination of customs kiosk access and TSA PreCheck makes every trip — international and domestic — noticeably faster and less stressful. But the application process itself is unnecessarily complicated for most people. Peninsula Visa's role has always been to handle the complexity of government processes so our clients don't have to. Our Global Entry service does exactly that — we handle everything, from creating the TTP account through scheduling the interview, so our clients can simply show up, pass their interview, and start enjoying the benefits."
