International Travel Tips

Traveling from
outside the US?

Millions of international fans will descend on North America for the biggest World Cup ever. Here's what you need to know.

🛂
Passport & Visa

Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. Renewals can take 6–8 weeks. Most visitors need an ESTA (visa waiver) or a B-1/B-2 visa — apply early as demand will surge.

💱
Currency & Payments

The US runs on card payments — carry a no-foreign-transaction-fee credit card. ATMs are widely available but airport exchange rates are terrible. Tip 18–20% at restaurants.

📱
SIM & Connectivity

Pick up a prepaid US SIM or eSIM on arrival (T-Mobile, Mint Mobile). Most stadiums and fan zones have free WiFi, but cellular is faster. Download offline maps for each host city.

🏥
Travel Insurance

US healthcare is expensive — a single ER visit can cost $3,000+. Get comprehensive travel insurance covering medical, trip cancellation, and lost baggage before you fly.

✈️
Flights & Entry

Book flights 3–6 months ahead. Major international gateways: JFK/EWR (New York), LAX (LA), MIA (Miami), DFW (Dallas), SFO (San Francisco). Consider open-jaw tickets for multi-city trips.

🚇
Getting Around

US cities are car-dependent — but World Cup host cities will have shuttle services to stadiums. For multi-city trips, check domestic flights (Southwest, JetBlue) or Amtrak routes.

🌡️
Weather & Packing

June–July in the US means heat. Southern cities (Miami, Houston, Dallas) hit 35°C+. Pack sunscreen, a hat, and a refillable water bottle. Stadiums allow clear bags only.

🏟️
Stadium Rules

No large bags, umbrellas, or outside food/drink allowed in FIFA venues. Arrive 2–3 hours early for security screening. Cashless payments only inside stadiums.

🍔
Food & Culture

Each host city has a distinct food scene — Tex-Mex in Dallas and Houston, Cuban food in Miami, street tacos in LA. Portions are large and tipping is expected everywhere.
