World Cup 2026: Washington Links Its Banking Caution Policy to Visa

The United States has relaxed its banking caution policy for tourist visa applications, easing access to the 2026 World Cup for supporters from several nations. Nationals from 50 developing countries, previously required to pay cautions of $5,000 to $15,000, are no longer affected if they are team members or ticket-holding supporters registered for the 'Fifa Pass.' Five qualified countries, including Algeria and Senegal, remain subject to these cautions.
