Costa Rica has joined the U.S. Global Entry Program, allowing pre-approved citizens expedited immigration at over 50 U.S. airports. Signed in June 2025, the agreement streamlines travel, benefiting Costa Rica’s tourism-driven economy and enhancing U.S. re-entry for American visitors. As system integration nears completion, Costa Ricans will soon apply for five-year memberships. The move strengthens bilateral ties, positioning Costa Rica alongside top Global Entry nations like the UK, India, and Singapore.
