Fans with World Cup tickets will receive US visa priority processing
FIFA reached agreement with US government to create FIFA PASS system.
PASS (Priority Appointment Scheduling System) allows 2026 World Cup ticket holders faster visa interview scheduling.
The standard 3-month visa process can be completed within one month or less, ensuring fans receive visas before the tournament if they meet all requirements.
Secretary Marco Rubio clarified: "Your ticket isn't a visa - it gets you faster interview scheduling, not automatic entry."
Interested fans can register at state.gov/fifa-world-cup-26, with updates beginning next year.
