Putin Welcomes the Football Fans Back to Russia – A once in a lifetime chance!

The FIFA World Cup this year was nothing short of an arena full of surprises indeed! The biggest surprise of them all to travellers coming in for the game was the big announcement the Russian President, Vladimir Putin made about visas to Russia. According to his statement, travellers who have attended the games can travel to Russia as much as they want without obtaining another visa. All that needs to be done is to obtain a document labelled a Fan ID or enter the number of an expired match ticket. Now isn’t that easy!

This is especially a relief to British travellers who would like to visit Russia as they can avoid the arduous task of obtaining a visa for Russia from the UK. The President hopes that travellers all over the world will make the most of this rare opportunity to fly to Russia and explore this vast land of many cultures and history. If you are planning your trip to Russia from Sri Lanka, make things even more easy for yourself by approaching tour agents in Sri Lanka for example, the likes of Hemas Travels to get some advice on the proceedings.
