Ggrks,

First of all, I was very wrong about Global Entry. First of all, I was very wrong about Global Entry, so I didn't understand Ggrks' comment yesterday and went back to YouTube and the TSA Pre/Global Entry site to learn more.

Many years ago, when TSA Pre first became popular, you had to wait in long lines at the TSA checkpoint at departure, but in the TSA Pre lanes, it was a breeze to get through. I thought this was worth the $85 expense over 5 years, so I immediately got TSA Pre. I thought it was a panacea, but then I heard on this topic the year before last that there was also Global Entry, but I let it go, saying "I'm not interested in that" as long as I had TSA Pre.

This time, however, Mr. Ggrks told me that Grobal Entry is a very easy and quick way to enter the country, and that there is a special entrance for citizens and permanent residents, and that if you hold your passport up to the kiosk terminal, a machine will automatically bring out a slip with your photo on it. If you hold your passport up to the kiosk terminal, a slip with your picture on it will automatically come out, and if you take it and hand it to the officer, he will say "Hi ・ OK" and you will be through instantly. Therefore, I did not understand what Ggrks meant when he said that Grobal Entry takes less time.

Nevertheless, upon closer examination, I found that TSA Pre is more for domestic travel only and avoids long lines at both departure ・ and arrival, whereas for international travel it is only advantageous at departure and no advantage when returning from abroad. Ggrks, I apologize for my lack of understanding.

I am planning to switch to Global Entry when my TSA Pre expires at the end of this year.

Since Japanese people are able to obtain Global Entry within Japan, I hope that at least Narita, Haneda, and Kansai Airports will have Global Entry facilities. Once this Corona pandemic is completely over, we will see an avalanche of foreign tourists again, and long lines at the immigration counters at the airports. It may be an hour or two flight for those from neighboring countries, but we arrive at Narita or other airports after sitting in cramped seats for almost half a day, so it will be hell to have to stand and wait for almost an hour again.

What I said in #2379 has nothing to do with permanent resident holders.

Permanent residents are Japanese citizens, so of course they will be in line with Japanese nationals at immigration. If two or three flights arrive at the same time, there will be a similar large line at both checkpoints. But while we foreigners have to wait over an hour at the back of the line, the Japanese line is empty in less than 15 minutes. At that moment, or rather, only at that moment, I felt it was better to be Japanese.

Eligibility for Global Entry

In the above, Japan is not on the list, so only US permanent resident holders should be able to get it, but the following site tells the story of how it was obtained.

"[Global Entry ①] Japanese can get it ！ ！ （ No green card required ）"
