Overview
For those planning to travel to the United States to watch the 2026 World Cup, it is important to start the visa process well in advance. The US Embassy in Brazil has warned fans who need a visa to apply now, as demand tends to be very high. For most fans, the most suitable visa is the B‑1/B‑2, which covers tourism, sporting events and other temporary activities. It is recommended to start the request approximately 12 months before the trip, to have room to schedule an interview, gather documents, make additions or even redo the request, if it is denied on the first attempt. Furthermore, there is concern about deadlines: depending on the consulate, the waiting time for the interview can vary greatly. Therefore, planning in advance is not only recommended, it can be decisive in ensuring that everything is ready before the tournament. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that fits your situation.
