UAE FIFA Fans To Receive Priority US Visa Slots For World Cup 2026!
If you’re a UAE resident dreaming of cheering your team live at World Cup 2026, here’s some news that’ll make you do a happy dance…
The US Embassy has just announced that FIFA ticket holders from the UAE will get priority visa interview appointments!
Why does this matter? Well, right now, non-priority visa interviews in Abu Dhabi and Dubai are booked well into 2026 and even 2027, leaving fans sweating over whether they’ll make it to the tournament.
Enter the FIFA Priority Appointment Scheduling System (PASS).
This shiny new system will let ticket holders secure faster interview slots once they apply, making sure nobody misses kick-off because of a long wait.
The embassy has confirmed:
“Every FIFA World Cup ticket holder who needs a visa will have the opportunity to schedule an interview in time to attend the tournament.” (via Khaleej)
Of course, there’s a small catch… a ticket doesn’t guarantee a visa. Applicants still need to meet all eligibility requirements, and every case will be reviewed individually.
PASS is set to officially roll out in early 2026, giving UAE fans enough time to prep their documents and grab those interviews. So, if you’ve got your tickets, it’s time to get ready to turn those World Cup dreams into reality!
