Rússia amplia la entrada sense visat per als titulars de la identificació FAN de la Copa Mundial fins a finals d'any

The upper house of Russian parliament approved a bill, enabling the FIFA FAN ID holders to enter the country without a visa until the end of 2018.

The bill was earlier adopted by the lower chamber, Russian State Duma, after President Vladimir Putin suggested extending the visa-free regime for FIFA World Cup guests until December 31.

It was aimed to boost the tourism influx to Russia. Now the bill requires Putin’s signature to become a law.

Russia hosted the football championship from June 14 to July 15 and apart from tickets everyone was required to gain an accompanying FAN ID for entry to the stadium.
