United States | New CBP mobile app facilitates visa waiver applications and payment

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched the new CBP Link mobile app, which facilitates certain processes and functions for businesses and travelers entering the United States.

Key Points:

• CBP Link enables Visa Waiver Program travelers to apply and pay for an I-94 up to seven days before arriving in the U.S.
• The app also facilitates inspection requests for perishable cargo and manifest submissions by bus operators.
• Previous users of CBP Home will have their information automatically updated upon download.
• CBP Link can be downloaded for free on Google Play, the Apple App Store or the CBP website.

Additional Information: Although the CBP Link app has the same functions formerly included in the CBP Home app, the latter will now solely be used for self-deportation.
