World Cup 2026 Visa Guide for Fans
The 2026 World Cup, hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico, is a major draw for football fans worldwide, including those from Indonesia. New visa regulations require careful preparation. Unlike the previous tournament in Qatar, which used the Hayya Card, visitors must secure visas for each of the three host countries this time. Ensuring proper documentation is crucial, as having a match ticket does not guarantee a visa. However, possessing official tickets can offer priority scheduling for interviews, especially in the USA.
USA: B1/B2 Visa Procedures and FIFA PASS. The USA will host the majority of matches. Indonesian fans will need a B1/B2 visa to enter. The introduction of the FIFA PASS (Priority Appointment Scheduling System) grants ticket holders faster interview scheduling opportunities.
Canada: Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) Canada does not offer a priority system similar to FIFA PASS. Fans are advised to apply at least 3-4 months in advance of travel.
Mexico: Visa Policies and Exceptions Mexico offers exceptions for holders of valid visas from certain countries, allowing them to avoid separate visa applications.
Indonesian fans are advised to start the application process early to ensure full compliance with visa requirements.
