history.<\/span>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first time, three countries are co-hosting the world&#8217;s biggest sporting event. The United States, Canada, and Mexico will share 16 host cities, 104 matches, and more than 48 competing nations.<\/span>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That also means something new for fans traveling from abroad: there is no single travel pass or unified visa that covers all three host countries. Each nation runs its own immigration system. Each border is its own checkpoint.<\/span>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your team plays in Dallas (USA) and then advances to a match in Toronto (Canada), you need separate entry authorization for both countries. An approved US visa does not let you into Canada. A Canadian eTA does not cover US entry.<\/span>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This World Cup 2026 visa guide breaks down exactly what international fans need to know, country by country, step by step.
