Directions from CBP

If coming from I-45 you will go east onto Beltway 8. You will see the airport sign. If coming from HWY 59 you will go west onto Beltway 8. You will see the airport sign. At this point just follow the airport signs into the airport. You would then follow signs directly to the airport for parking at any terminal, if you chose to park at terminal A or B, take the train to terminal E. Another option is park offsite at the paid Parking areas, and take the shuttle bus to Terminal E. When you enter Terminal E international arrivals, we are on the lower level, there will be a sign outside the Global Entry office.

FAQ

How do I book a Global Entry interview at Houston Intercontinental?

Apply and get conditional approval on ttp.dhs.gov, then pick Houston Intercontinental in the official scheduler. When we checked (Oct 28, 2026, 3:28 AM UTC), the soonest open slot was Wed Oct 28, 2026, 7:10 AM.

What should I bring to the Global Entry interview?

CBP asks for a valid passport (or a permanent resident card for lawful permanent residents) and a document that proves your current address, such as a driver's license or a utility bill. Check your conditional approval letter for the full list.

Do I have to interview at an enrollment center?

No. Conditionally approved applicants can use Enrollment on Arrival when they return from an international trip at participating airports, with no appointment.

Is Global Entry worth it over TSA PreCheck?

Global Entry costs $120 for 5 years and includes TSA PreCheck, plus faster U.S. customs when you come home from abroad. If you will fly internationally at all in the next 5 years, it is usually the better value; the trade-off is a CBP interview.
