We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    If you have plans to travel to Mexico, there’s a new program that can save you time at Immigration & Customs called Viajero Confiable.

    With Programa Viajero Confiable, Mexican citizens and US citizens with Global Entry can use kiosks at select airports in Mexico to get through the airport quickly.

    Skip the Lines at Immigration & Customs With Mexico’s New Global Entry Style Program

    Let’s take a look at how it works and who’s eligible!

    What’s the Deal?

    Link:   Viajero Confiable FAQ Page

    Viajero Confiable is Mexico’s version of Global Entry.  It’s currently available in 3 locations: Cancun, Los Cabos, and Mexico City.

    Members can skip the line at Immigration & Customs when entering Mexico and use kiosks to get through more efficiently.  When you arrive, just scan your passport, fingerprints, and complete the immigration form.

    Here’s how to sign-up:

    Like US Global Entry, your membership is good for 5 years.  The program is open to Mexican citizens and US citizens who have Global Entry (18 years of age or older).

    Should You Sign-Up?

    Viajero Confiable is a great way to get ahead of the lines at Mexican Immigration & Customs.  However, you must complete an interview at 1 of the 3 participating airports in Mexico and there’s an ~$89 fee.

    So this may only be worth it for folks who travel to Mexico frequently on vacation, business, or to visit family.  But keep in mind, this is currently available in just 3 airports.

    Also you must be 18 or older to participate, so this isn’t a good option for families traveling with children.

    Bottom Line

    Mexico has a Global Entry type program called Viajero Confiable.  Members can skip the lines at immigration and go to self-serve kiosks.

    The program is open to Mexican citizens and US citizens with Global Entry for an ~$89 application fee.

    But you’ll have to complete an interview at 1 of the 3 locations in Mexico, so this may only be worth it for folks who visit frequently.
