MLS operates as a single entity — the league employs all players, meaning P-1 visa petitions must be signed by the league, not the club.
Pro SoccerWorld-Class Talent. Match-Day Ready.
VeloVisa gives professional soccer organizations complete visibility and control over player and staff immigration — from international transfers to MLS match day — ensuring players and coaches never miss a match because of paperwork.

One player, three stakeholders, and zero room for miscommunication.
Yet each club manages the day-to-day relationship with players and staff, gathering documents and coordinating arrivals across transfer windows.
A third-party immigration law firm often prepares and files the I-129 — creating a three-way workflow between club, league, and counsel.
Without a shared system, critical details fall through the cracks — and a single visa delay during a transfer window can derail signings worth millions.
How VeloVisa Helps
One platform where club, league, and counsel work together.
Multi-party collaboration
Your club, the league office, and outside immigration counsel all access the same records — no more chasing emails or duplicating work.
Organization-wide oversight
Real-time visibility into every player's petition status, work authorization, and match-day eligibility — across the club, league, and counsel.
"Before VeloVisa, we were emailing the league office, calling our lawyers, and updating spreadsheets — all for the same player. Now everyone works from the same platform, and transfer windows are no longer a fire drill."
