The U.S. announced it will waive prior visa bond requirements for qualified 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket holders, eliminating previous bond amounts of $5,000 and $15,000. Eligible ticket holders WHO apply for U.S. visas will no longer need to post those bonds as part of their application. The change removes a major upfront expense and simplifies travel logistics for international supporters planning to attend matches in U.S. host cities. By lowering this financial barrier, the waiver broadens access to the tournament and eases trip planning for fans traveling to the United States.
