The United States will prohibit foreign influencers from creating and profiting from content related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup while visiting on tourist visas. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has confirmed this policy, clarifying that visa B-2 holders – those traveling for tourism – are not authorized to engage in activities that generate income. Creating content for commercial purposes is considered employment, requiring a work visa instead. This restriction aims to prevent unauthorized work within the country. Social media reports circulating on the issue have been verified as accurate by fact-checking organizations. The policy applies to all influencers intending to monetize World Cup-related content while in the US as tourists. Failure to comply could result in penalties for visa violations.
