Pilot Program: Global Entry for Australian Citizens [yet to be launched]
 

Agreement Reached to Include Australia in Global Entry Program (New here, so forum won't let me post a link)

Agreement Reached to Include Australia in Global Entry Program

Saw this announcement earlier in October but didn't see any posts here about it. Can't come soon enough!

Yet once again, nothing for New Zealand. Ah well, I've written another quick email to the Minister for Customs - there's a new Minister and with this development and the close relations between Australia and NZ maybe they can get off the ground again. I'm on a roll this week, that's the second email to a minister I've written! (The other was to the Australian Minister of Communications once again imploring them to change the law so I can install an ethernet port in my wall without risking a $20,000 fine).

Folks,

Please keep in mind that the Trusted Travelers forum is informational.

Members come here in search of information and practical advice about applying for and using the various Trusted Travelers programs; please limit your postings here to seeking and providing practical information, and sharing news, experiences and data points.

Opinions and commentary about whether other nations should be requred to grant US passport holders access to expedited immigration and customs screening as a condition of allowing their nationals to enroll in Global Entry belong in the Checkpoints and Borders Policy Debate forum where several post from this thread have been relocated.

Future non-informational posts will be summarily deleted.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation,

FYI, as of Jan 2020, it is still not launched.

Another update on Global Entry for Australians...maybe it might finally happen this time?

Great. Will look forward to conditional approval in 2023.
