"FIFA Pass is a prioritized appointment scheduling system,"
"So if you have a ticket for the World Cup, you can have a prioritized appointment to get your visa. Because, you said it the first time we met, Mr. President, America welcomes the world."
"We're going to do the same vetting as anybody else would get,"
"The only difference here is that we're moving them up in the queue."
FIFA Pass will prioritize scheduling of U.S. visa interview appointments for holders of official 2026 World Cup tickets, shortening waiting time without guaranteeing visa approval or reducing fees. The initiative aims to handle an expected influx of 5 to 10 million international visitors by moving ticket holders up in the interview queue while keeping standard vetting procedures in place. Estimated waits for FIFA Pass holders are six to eight weeks. Applicants must purchase tickets through official channels and follow steps on a FIFA portal to access the prioritized appointment process.
