RUSSIA – FIFA World Cup 2018 – FAN ID and VISA FREE TRAVEL
The “FAN ID’s” everyone’s talking about and how to make use of the “Visa Free” travel to Russia during this period. South African passport holders do not require visas to enter Russia, however, many of our clients in possession of other foreign passports travelling from abroad do.
You may contact any of our offices to confirm which of those foreign passport require visas. However, you may be eligible to make use of this “visa free travel” to Russia if in possession of the FAN ID. Our recommendation is to always apply for a visa prior to arrival, therefore, please contact any of our offices if you’d prefer a visa sticker!
