UAE residents planning to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US will soon be able to book priority visa interview slots through the new FIFA Priority Appointment Scheduling System (PASS). The system will allow ticket holders requiring B1/B2 visas to secure faster interview dates, addressing current wait times that extend more than a year.
While PASS offers priority scheduling, the US Embassy noted that visa approval is not guaranteed. Launching in early 2026, PASS aims to ensure that no ticket holder misses the tournament due to interview delays.
