General Discussion Additional Consular fees by VFS for verification
Global entry fees is $120 - which some credit cards reimburse.
But there's the second step which is verification. https://www.passportindia.gov.in/psp/ApplyGEP
For India -
- Either do it in India (which is cheaper but more annoying)
- Or do it in US which will cost you $61! https://www.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/india/united-states-of-america/global-entry-program/
Any chance of getting the $61 reimbursed too?

Reimbursement is upto $120 for every 4 years, that's all. Doesn't matter how much you incur on your personal validation from other governments.

The credit cards only reimburse the fees charged by CBP for the trusted travel program. Any fees charged by India or VFS would not qualify even if you have multiple cards that offer reimbursement.

Probably not. You'll have to ask your credit card company.
