Do I need a visa for the World Cup?

Yes, you need a visa to attend the World Cup matches in the U.S. However, there is no specific World Cup visa: depending on your nationality, you will need to apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) or B1/B2 visa.

The ESTA is an online authorization, not technically a visa, specific for nationalities included in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Its application process is completely online, and approval takes 72 hours or less.

On the other hand, all nationalities can apply for the B1/B2 visa, but it involves a more complex process with an in-person interview at the embassy.

It is important to note that processing times may be affected by high demand. We recommend starting the process as early as possible to avoid losing flight or hotel reservations.
