Purpose: ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) allows eligible travelers from Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries to travel to the United States for tourism, business, or transit purposes without obtaining a visa.
When to apply: Travelers must apply online at least 72 hours before departure.
Duration and extensions An approved ESTA is generally valid for 2 years (or until the passport expires, whichever comes first) and allows stays of up to 90 days per visit. ESTA stays cannot be extended.
Entries: The ESTA allows multiple entries to the United States during its validity period, provided each stay does not exceed 90 days.
Ports of entry: ESTA travelers may enter the United States through any official port of entry by air or sea. ESTA is not valid for entry by land without additional requirements at U.S. land border crossings.
Delivery format: Once approved, ESTA authorization is issued electronically and linked to the traveler’s passport. No physical document is required, but travelers are advised to keep a copy of their approval confirmation.
Purpose: The U.S. World Cup Visa is a B1/B2 Visitor Visa intended for travelers attending FIFA World Cup matches and related events in the United States. It permits tourism, attending games, and limited business activities.
When to apply: Due to high demand during major sporting events, it is strongly recommended to apply several months in advance. For the FIFA World Cup, the government implemented the FIFA PASS, which means priority or expedited appointment assistance for game ticket holders.
Duration and extensions The B1/B2 visa is typically valid for up to 10 years (depending on nationality and reciprocity agreements). Each stay in the United States is generally permitted for up to 6 months. Extensions are not possible.
Entries: The United States B1/B2 visa is commonly issued as a multiple-entry visa, allowing travelers to enter the United States multiple times during the visa’s validity period.
Delivery format: Once approved, the visa is issued as a visa sticker placed inside the applicant’s passport.
Purpose: The U.S. B1/B2 Visa is a non-immigrant visa issued to foreign nationals traveling to the United States temporarily for business (B1), tourism (B2), or a combination of both purposes. Permitted activities include attending business meetings or conferences (B1), tourism, visiting family or friends, and receiving medical treatment (B2).
When to apply: It is recommended to apply several weeks or months in advance, as appointment availability and processing times vary by location.
Duration and extensions The B1/B2 visa is typically issued with a validity period of up to 10 years (depending on nationality and reciprocity agreements) and allows stays of up to 6 months per entry. Extensions are not possible.
Entries: The B1/B2 visa allows travelers to enter the United States multiple times during the visa’s validity period.
Delivery format: Once approved, the B1/B2 visa is placed as a visa sticker inside the applicant’s passport. Travelers must carry a passport containing a valid visa when traveling to the United States.

Applying for a visa on your own can be confusing and time-consuming. iVisa simplifies the process, reduces errors, and gives you peace of mind.
An ESTA application is usually approved fast, within a day.
The B1 visa is for business travelers (e.g., attending meetings or conferences), while the B2 visa is for tourism, vacations, or medical visits. Most travelers receive a combined B1/B2 visa.
An ESTA allows stays of up to 90 days. Most visitors with a B1/B2 visa are allowed to stay up to 6 months, but the exact length is decided by the immigration officer upon arrival.
No, an ESTA authorization cannot be extended. If you entered the US on a non-immigrant visa, you can sometimes apply to extend your stay or switch to another visa type at least 45 days before your current one expires.
However, if you're from a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) country and will be in the U.S. for only a few hours, you still need to apply for an ESTA in advance, even for transit.
In short:
You need a C-1 visa or an approved ESTA, depending on your nationality
You can’t leave the airport unless you have proper entry permission
If you're changing airports or need to stay overnight, you’ll likely need a full visa or ESTA
Our team of iVisa experts will review your documents to ensure you have the best chance of approval. We then send it to the government for processing on your behalf.
Once your visa is approved, we’ll then email you your document or the next steps.
