How To Activate 3D Secure Visa for FIFA Tickets | Step-by-Step Guide

To activate 3D Secure (also called Visa Secure, Verified by Visa, or VBV), the process depends on your bank or card issuer, not Visa itself.

The Visa World Cup Ticket Lottery is a legitimate ticketing phase for the FIFA World Cup, but it is not a traditional lottery where you win free tickets.

1. You must be a Visa cardholder — credit, debit, or reloadable prepaid. The card must be valid, unexpired, and enabled with 3D Secure.

Here’s how you can activate it step-by-step:

🔐 What is 3D Secure?

3D Secure adds an extra layer of authentication during online purchases. Instead of just entering your card number, you’ll also be asked to verify your identity — usually with:

• A one-time password (OTP) sent via SMS/email

• Or a banking app prompt

• Or biometric login (fingerprint/face)

Visa calls this program Visa Secure.

✅ 2. Update contact info

Ensure your:

• Mobile number

• Email address
  …are correctly linked to your account so you can receive OTPs during checkout.

✅ 3. Enable 3D Secure if it’s off

If your bank gives the option, there may be a toggle to enable “Verified by Visa” or “Visa Secure.” Some banks also let you choose your preferred method of authentication (e.g., SMS vs. app).

✅ 4. Try an online purchase to test it

Once 3D Secure is active, try buying something from a site that supports 3D Secure (like Amazon, airlines, or FIFA ticket sales). At checkout, you should get an extra authentication step.
