FAQs

(Q) Do supporters require a Visa for entry into Russia

(A) FAN ID?
FAN ID is a special photo identification document which acts as both your tourist entry visa into Russia during the FIFA World Cup period, as well as your personal ID allowing match day entry into the various FIFA World Cup stadiums during the tournament (accompanied by your personalised match ticket). Your FAN ID also allows free public transport travel on match days.

FAN ID is valid for multiple entry in & out of Russia commencing 10 days prior to the start of the FIFA World Cup right through until 10 days after the Final (i.e. valid from 4 June to 25 July).

First implemented during the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2017, the system worked seamlessly for the thousands of fans who converged on Russia, including those on Fanatics tour!
The Application Process
Fans of all ages, including children, must obtain a FAN ID. The application process is a simple online procedure that requires you to enter your personal details and passport info, plus upload a passport style photo which you can easily take on your phone. Applying for a FAN ID is free and you are not required to send your passport off to be checked, making the application process very easy and convenient.

The application process is expected to open in early 2018. So long as you have a valid passport and are not on any FIFA/FFA banned spectator lists, your application will be approved instantly. Once completed, based on our experience from the 2017 Confederations Cup, your FAN ID will be sent to your home address approx one month prior to the start of the tournament.

(Q) What happens if I am overseas when the tickets are shipped?
(A) Shipping will be to the address provided If you would like this changed please advise.

(Q) Can I change a name on a ticket?
(A) Name changes are permitted as there are no names on these tickets, but there will be a problem if you apply for a Fan ID and then change your mind.
