point of entry
Where you enter
A point of entry is a location where someone or something enters a place—typically a country's borders, airports, or seaports where customs and immigration officials process arrivals: Passengers were screened at the point of entry.
The term extends to any designated entrance: The burglar's point of entry was a basement window.
In medicine, it refers to where a pathogen enters the body.
