· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. government has announced the elimination of visa bond requirements for foreign visitors holding tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Previously, travelers from certain countries were required to pay bonds ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 due to concerns over visa overstays and security issues. This decision, confirmed by the State Department, aims to ease travel for fans from 50 countries, including Algeria, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Tunisia. The exemption applies to fans who register for the FIFA Pass, which facilitates expedited visa appointments starting April 15. The World Cup will take place from June 11 and is co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
