Are you one of the many people traveling across the globe to Russia to attend the UEFA Champions League Finals Match?
Well if you happen to be one of those people then you’ll be glad to know that to make the tournament more organized and efficient, you’ll be able to use your match ticket as a visa into Russia. Now this means you won’t need to get a travel visa to enter the country to watch the soccer match. With monstrous expectations for the match the UEFA planning committee wanted to make sure the tournament is going to be as organized as possible.
If you do have a match ticket then that will act as a visa exemption into the country for 72 hours, which is the ideal amount of time to watch the match and have some fun afterwards. To enter the country you’ll need your valid match ticket, valid passport and also need to fill out an immigration form. Upon completion of the form and pending you have the two valid pieces of information that you need then you’ll be granted access into the country from May 19th - May23rd.
Russia deserves a huge pat on the back for doing their best at making this an efficient and unforgettable event. Making the ticket act as a visa will save a lot of people the hassle of trying to find last minute documents so that they can watch the game. Typically countries don’t do this, but Russia decided it was in the best interest of them and also more importantly the fans who will be traveling to Russia to enjoy the game.
The match should be a great one featuring many of the elite players in the English league. It should be a treat for anyone lucky enough to be watching the game live, and now it’s been made a lot easier as well.
