World Cup 2018: Visa-free entry into Russia all year round!

For the rest of 2018, world cup fans can enter into Russia without a visa.

Russia, the host of the just concluded World Cup, is now open to fans!

Tourists who visited Russia for the World Cup will testify that it is indeed a beautiful and fascinating country with lots of places and culture to explore.

To mark the conclusion of the World Cup, President Vladimir Putin made a televised speech after the World Cup final in Moscow on Sunday to announce that Russia will be extending its visa-free travel regime for foreign soccer fans until the end of 2018.

 

Russia initially allowed soccer fans to travel to Russia without visas to attend the World Cup once they obtained fan IDs that were issued to supporters with match tickets.

“I think we will do the following: for foreign fans who currently have fan IDs, we will give them multi-entry visa-free travel until the end of the year,” Putin told reporters after France’s victory against Croatia.

Putin said Russia could surely be proud of its hosting of the football World Cup, judging it a success in every respect.

“We have done it for our supporters, for Russians who are passionate about sport and for all those who love sport across the world,” Putin thanked the foreign fans who came to Russia for the tournament.

For those with their Fan IDs who will be revisiting the country, these are five places to steer away from while in Russia.
