So I screwed up and forgot to put 3 countries on my renewal application which is conditionally approved (Vatican City, Seychelles, and Germany). Should I mention this in my interview? Or not bother? I'd like to be honest and tell the truth, but I worry that might mean I get declined because I didn't offer correct info on my renewal application. Am I overthinking things?

The definition of 'visit' is also vague. Should I have put France and Belgium down when I travelled through them to Amsterdam on the Eurostar and Thalys. France was a mere pass through but I had to get off the train in Belgium to change trains for the grand total of an hour. Does that count as a visit?
I made a decision not to list them as to me hadn't visited them. It would be different if I had been to a country less than friendly to the US for example.

I was on a cruise, and we stopped at the port but did not go through customs. Do I need to list that country?
You should include all countries visited other than Canada or Mexico.

From the TTP FAQ (https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/faq?lang=en):
Still not the clearest of answers, but it appears they want every country you've physically been in, regardless of entry status.

This is for Renewal.
What if you are dual nationality and often use non US Passport to travel among countries where the stamps are still used (so to save the precious pages on the US passport), as well as countries US passport needs Visa while the other nationality passport does not?
How do you list the countries visited?

I also included countries where no passport was shown at all (e.g. when traveling from one Schengen country to another).

Global Entry Renewal - British Virgin Islands
In my Countries Visited section, I can't find British Virgin Islands. Do you list UK because it is their territory? I've never been to the UK but I went to the British Virgin Islands on a cruise so it seems wrong to put UK when I was not near there. I know they were very particular at my initial interview so I don't want to have a problem at my renewal interview.

My wife is re-applying and we travelled to the British Virgin Islands in the last 5 years. She didn't see BVI in the list so she put the UK which is technically correct. Not sure if others have seen BVI as a separate entry on the TTP form?

I was thinking about going on a tour to Syria or Yemen, I wonder if that would effect a global entry renewal? I know SSS, the big X, renewal interview and FBI tail, but more worried about full revocation and having to stand in a long line every time I return.

I accidentally left off Germany and the officer doing my interview last week never brought it up, but I did disclose it AFTER he told me I’d be getting my card in about 10 days. So either he didn’t care or Germany wasn’t on his list.
I’m pretty sure I entered Germany before walking to the Lufthansa FCT.

I am doing mine now and don't see it. Interestingly, my spouse renewed a few months ago and said there was Netherland Antilles but not Bonaire and Curacao, and now there is both NA and Bonaire and Curacao. Martinique is also there even though it is part of France.

My wife had her re-application approved. So when going to BVI choosing UK works and i'd assume the same with other territories and possessions.

Forgot 2 Countries Visited on My Global Entry Renewal--Am I Screwed??
Just submitted my Global Entry renewal application and realized I missed 2 countries visited. Will that cause me to be forced to do another Interview? Or maybe even be denied??
