1-Stop Enrollment Pilot Announced By U.S., Netherlands for Expedited Trusted Traveler Program
It has been proclaimed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection that travelers who are intending to apply to the Global Entry and Privium Trusted Traveler programs can apply at any one of the five existing “one-stop shop” joint enrollment centers. These enrollment centers have been set up in the United States and the Netherlands through the Fast Low-Risk Universal Crossing (FLUX) program as a trial initiative.
The government of the U.S. went on a joint-venture with the government of Netherlands to speed up international travel by establishing the Fast Low-Risk Universal Crossing (FLUX) program. This has been achieved by establishing an automated border passage program for those low-risk travelers who have registered themselves already.
The U.S. and Dutch citizens over 14 years of age who possess a valid machine-readable passport and consenting to a background screening can apply to join the U.S. Global Entry and Dutch Privium programs through the FLUX enrollment program while the pilot enrollment period is on. But for FLUX participation, the U.S. citizens should become a member of Global Entry initially after which they require to be authorized for the Dutch Privium program.
Global Entry is an automated entry program directed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This entry program is active at 20 major airports in the U.S. To apply for Global Entry, the U.S. citizens must apply with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection followed by an interview and border check.
Frequent Dutch and U.S. travelers at the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam are offered favored treatment by a voluntary fee-based airport service program, Privium.
Joint enrollment was earlier operative only at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. With the interim joint enrollment centers, the U.S. and Dutch citizens who have filed an application for the Global Entry and Privium program can get their Privium interview done with an officer of the Royal Dutch Marechaussee and Global Entry interview with a CBP officer at many new locations.
