All spectators who purchase tickets to the football matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup must obtain FAN IDs. A FAN ID can only be issued after FIFA validates the application for ticket.
A FAN ID will entitle foreign citizens and stateless persons to visa-free entry to the Russian Federation starting ten days before the date of the first 2018 FIFA World Cup match. They shall leave Russia using their FAN IDs within ten days after the date of the last match.
A FAN ID is a personalized laminated form containing the holder's personal data and photo. It is issued only once to each fan and is free of charge.
A FAN ID in combination with a match ticket will grant the right to free transfer on special trains connecting the host cities of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and on public transportation in the host cities on match days.
Foreign spectators of the football tournament will be able to apply for FAN ID on the http://www.fan-id.ru website. The FAN ID will be delivered by mail to the fan's home address. It is also possible to get a FAN ID in the VFS Global visa centers or at Rossotrudnichestvo's representative offices located abroad. The list will be posted on the website.
