Indian Fan Secures US Visa Quickly with FIFA Pass
The FIFA PASS is a special way to help people get a US visa faster if they have tickets for the 2026 World Cup.
It's not a new type of visa but a quicker way to apply for the existing B1/B2 visitor visa.
An Indian football fan shared his experience on social media, saying that after buying a World Cup ticket and filling out the FIFA PASS form, he was able to get a biometric appointment in just a few days.
He also found many visa interview slots available throughout February and March, which is usually not the case for Indian applicants.
This makes it easier and less stressful for Indian football lovers to plan their trip to the US for the World Cup.
However, FIFA PASS does not guarantee visa approval, but it does make the process faster for eligible fans.
