U.S. Waives Visa Bond for Ticket Holders of 2026 World Cup
The United States has waived visa bonds of up to $15,000 for fans with tickets to the 2026 World Cup, in response to concerns about added travel costs. The waiver applies to eligible fans registered for FIFA PASS, but standard visa screening remains in place. Critics have said the Trump administration's immigration policies clash with the tournament's goal of being inclusive.
