Schedule your visa interview
Book an appointment at the US Embassy in Dhaka through ustraveldocs.com. Wait times vary — book as early as possible.
ustraveldocs.comGather supporting documents
Prepare financial proof (bank statements, tax returns), employment letter, travel itinerary, hotel bookings, and match tickets. The more evidence of ties to Bangladesh, the better.
Attend visa interview
Arrive at the US Embassy Dhaka 15 minutes early. Bring all original documents. The interview typically lasts 3-5 minutes. Be concise and honest about your travel purpose.
Collect passport with visa
If approved, your passport will be returned via courier within 3-5 business days with the visa stamped inside. Track delivery status online.
Pro tips · insider advice
What our advisors actually recommend
Book your interview ASAP. Dhaka embassy wait times spike before major events. As of early 2026, B-1/B-2 wait times can exceed 60 days.
Show strong ties to Bangladesh. Property ownership, stable employment, family obligations, and business interests all help prove you intend to return.
Bring match tickets to your interview. FIFA World Cup tickets clearly establish your travel purpose and specific dates — consular officers appreciate concrete plans.
Apply for Canada TRV simultaneously. If you plan to attend matches in Vancouver, start the Canadian visa process in parallel — it has its own 4-8 week timeline.
Keep your DS-160 confirmation number safe. You will need it to schedule the interview, at the embassy, and if you ever need to retrieve your application.
Important: Visa rules change frequently. This information reflects AI-generated guidance as of April 2026. Always confirm with the official embassy or consulate before booking non-refundable travel. World Cup Guide is an independent planning service and is not affiliated with any government.

General Tips
Keep your passport, ESTA, and travel insurance docs in your hotel safe. Carry a photocopy.
Use Apple Pay or contactless when possible. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
Stay aware of your surroundings in crowded fan zones. Pickpocketing spikes during major events.
Health Tips
US healthcare is expensive. Travel insurance with medical coverage is essential — aim for $1M+ coverage.
Stay hydrated at matches. June temperatures can reach 85°F. Bring an empty water bottle to refill inside.
Pack sunscreen (SPF 50+) for outdoor fan zones and stadium seats, especially in LA.
Areas of Caution
Avoid Penn Station area late at night. Use rideshare instead of walking.
In LA, keep valuables out of sight in parked cars. Smash-and-grabs are common in tourist areas.
