The Trump Administration eliminates the requirement to pay up to $15,000 for foreign visitors with confirmed tickets to the FIFA World Cup traveling to the United States, as reported by the Department of State.

Relaxation of Immigration Requirements

The Donald Trump Administration has waived the payment of up to $15,000 for foreigners with confirmed tickets to the FIFA World Cup visiting the United States. This measure is part of the campaign against irregular immigration and aims to facilitate travel for fans attending the tournament to be held jointly with Canada and Mexico.

Exemption for Fans and Partial Restrictions

Common fans, previously not exempt, will now not have to make said payment. However, travelers from certain countries face partial restrictions under expanded travel bans. Additionally, foreign visitors must provide their social media history upon entering the U.S.
