The Global Entry Enrollment Center at Cyril E. King Airport, nicknamed "Enrollment in Paradise," sits near the airline counters just two miles west of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas's capital, and serves travelers across the U.S. Virgin Islands. It's a relatively rare enrollment center in that it's set up for both walk-in and scheduled interviews, though scheduled slots are still the more dependable route. Confirm the terminal on Google Maps before you head over.

Knowing the Global Entry Application Process
- Submit Your Application: Create a Trusted Traveler Programs account and submit the Global Entry application with the fee.
- Await Conditional Approval: CBP reviews your background before clearing you to schedule an interview.
- Schedule Your Interview: A scheduled slot beats relying on a walk-in, especially with limited weekday hours. If nothing is open, Snapslot can alert you the moment a cancellation appears.
- Attend Your Interview: A CBP officer reviews your documents and travel history in person near the airline counters.
- Await Final Approval: Most applicants hear back shortly after the interview.
Preparing for your interview
Bring your passport and one additional valid form of identification. The interview is largely an honesty check, so answer plainly and be ready to speak to every country you've visited in the last five years. Dress professionally, as you would for any appointment with a federal officer.

Taking Public Transit to St. Thomas Cyril E. King Airport Enrollment Center
