is a personal document which is issued free of charge once for all
of the tournament matches. Every spectator who has purchased a
match ticket must get a FAN ID. In order to do this, one must fill
in an application form at http://www.fan-id.ru/ or
register at one of the FAN ID Distribution Centers located in
Russia. In combination with a
match ticket, a FAN ID will ensure fast and convenient access to
the stadium for all spectators.
Foreign citizens and stateless persons can enter Russia visa-free with a FAN ID during the
period starting 10 days before the date of the first match of the
2018 FIFA World Cup™ and ending on the date of the last match.
Therefore, entry into Russia with
a FAN ID is possible starting from 4 June through 15 July 2018. The FAN ID holders must leave the
country no later than 25 July 2018.
FAN ID also entitles spectators to free travel on additional
trains connecting the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ host cities and on
public transportation of the host cities on match days.
