Guests from abroad who have received the FIFA World Cup 2018 FAN ID can visit Russia until the end of 2018 without making new visa, RIA Novosti reports. «Free visa regime» for the soccer fans was announced by the Russian President.

Vladimir Putin hopes that the fans can use this chance visit Russia again, bringing their relatives and friends. 

Russian leader positively estimated the World Cup organisation. He said that he can justly be proud of the Championships as well as Russian football team performance and its coach who brought it to the ¼ finals. Putin shared that Russians didn't expect such success of the national team 
 
Now Russian athletes and their fans can count on the higher international league table scores. 

As we reported earlier, more than 3 million people attended FIFA World Cup matches in Russia. This number of guests brings the Russian World Cup up to the 5th place among the most visited championships in football history including the US, Germany, South Africa and Brazil.
